Have an Arty Christmas
Get creative with paints, markers and paper with these art activities
Christmas is fun, but it can also be exhausting.
This week the focus is on art projects to help boost mindfulness in what is often the busiest time of year.
Christmas Positive Negative Pattern Art
Doodle art is soothing and relaxing for all ages (adults included).

Handprint Silhouette Art
Combine the process art activity of liquid watercolour and salt painting with a papercraft silhouette element to turn it into a finished art project.
The end result is so pretty!
Age suggestion: 6+. Younger kids could do the process art easily but may need help with the cutting and tracing step.
