Stokke Baby Furniture - Step Up To Memories - A Craft Project For Parents And Kids
If you have been looking for a creative art project to do with the children, look no further! I recently did a fun project with my daughter and thought I would share the how-to for other parents who are looking for ways to keep their kids busy and creative all while making something useful for around the home!
What You'll Need
A wooden step ladder Spray paint (your choice of colour) Sponges (either cut into shapes of your choice or pre-purchased in shapes) Letter Stencils (of your child's name) Craft Paint (your preference of colors) Newspaper (the older the better) Smock or old clothing for you and your child
Now you are prepared to begin creating. A little preparation is needed before bringing your kid into the project. Take the step ladder outside and put it on the newspaper and spray paint it, covering the entire step ladder extensively. Allow it to dry overnight and you'll be able to bring your child into the project the next day!
Bring the painted ladder to your work area (outside is advised). Work with your child to sponge paint the shapes onto the ladder in the colors of your choice. Let it dry completely.
Next, help your child stencil their name(s) onto the ladder. I would recommend doing it on the side, and not the top, since the top will take a bit of wear if you intend to let your child use it. If it's to be a decoration for the porch of your child's room, putting the name on top will be okay if you choose to do so. Allow it to dry.
Your kid right now has a ladder, personally designed by them, to use. Put it in the corner of their room and through their favorite stuffed animal or trophies or images on top. You can also use the ladder as dcor in your garden or on your porch. More practically, you can allow your child use it for help in reaching the bathroom sink or other out of the way place they need to get to on a frequent basis.
While you can buy a step stool in the store, making one with your kid not just gives you an activity to do together to get in some quality time, but it will also serve as a reminder for a lot of years of the time you spent together and could even end up as a hand me down to your grandchildren.
And keep in mind, above all, have a good time!
