Open Ended Art - Christmas Stocking

I was in crunch mode yesterday studying for my final exam (ugh!) so their craft today was open ended art (Click here for an explanation of what open ended art is for kids).

Yesterday, I set out green & red paper, christmas scrapbooking paper, cotton balls, crayons, markers, paint dabbers, glue and scissors and I let their imagination take off.

I always like Open Ended Art because it takes them time to complete their project (thus giving me time to study).

Julian's stocking...so cute.

Open Ended Art - Black and White

Open ended art gives children free creativity, allowing the child to create art, how he/she sees it. I didn't invent open ended art, I simple saw the idea from Adventures of a Flake and Mommies Wise Little Bookworms.

The open ended art theme was balck and white.

This was a project that only Julian did.

In his words, he created a scary ghost. :)
