"A Growing Garden"

Remember the other day when I posted that Tessa has requested more art. Well, someone pat me on the back, I broke out the tempera paint today!

Tessa's one requirement was that we make something with hand prints. I flipped through my handy dandy Hooray for Art!: A Year's Worth of Arts-and-Crafts Projects book by The Mailbox and found "A Growing Garden." Perfect.

One 12 x 18-in. piece of white construction paper, a little tempera paint and a few paintbrushes later...voila, a pint-sized masterpiece!
