I love art teacher's blogs. Their projects are so darn cute, and now that E is school-aged she's able to do much of it. I found this lovely idea on ARTASTIC! via Pinterest and was thrilled with how it turned out.
The birch-bark effect was created using a comb and dabs of paint on white cardstock.
She then cut strips out of the paper for the tree trunks and glued them to the construction paper, trimming off the ends. The cardinal is made out of one red circle and the snowflakes from scrap paper hole punches.
A was appalled at the idea of NOT using a paintbrush, but I did convince her to use the comb to create patterns in her painting.
