Ocean week 🌊 children scooped blue “ocean” rice, sea creatures, boats, and iridescent shells. They rolled, brushed, and smeared blue and white paint on foil and bubble wrap. Some children chose to use paper to make prints (they look just like waves!), while others chose to just rub their hands in the paint and feel the different textures. They also played with blue kinetic sand and painted with shades of blue at the easel texture wall.

Happy Pride Month from Backyartists Art Studio! 🌈🎨
This Pride Month, we celebrate love, creativity, and the beautiful diversity of every child and family in our community.
At Backyartists, we believe that self-expression is powerful—and every child deserves a space where they feel safe, seen, and supported just as they are. We proudly stand with our LGBTQ+ families this month and always.
Let’s keep creating a world filled with color, kindness, and acceptance.
With love,
Nicole and Rachel

Cloud dough with rainbow loose parts was a huge hit! Want to try it at home? Mix cornstarch and conditioner until it’s a consistency that is fun for playing 💕

We had warm and cool colors of paint set out this week on a foil canvas for children to explore. They did lots of color mixing, some with the brushes and some with their hands!

Children in Wednesday Afternoon Art Explorers (ages 4-7) created these gorgeous spring canvases! They first drew the outline of their designs with permanent markers, sprayed the canvas with water, and then carefully laid colorful “bleeding tissue paper” on top. Once they had dried a bit, they peeled off the tissue paper to reveal these stunning masterpieces! We love how the colors blended together to create a watercolor effect. It’s so fun to learn new techniques!
