I asked Avery to find circles that we could trace. She found 6 different sizes.

We traced the circles on paper with a black crayon. She decided where to trace the circles and how many.

Avery chose 3 colors to make- red, pink & blue. we couldn’t make pink, since we used food coloring, so she has red, purple & blue to use. I used glass bowls, poured in some corn syrup and added a few drops of food coloring, I left her to paint the shapes she’d made, Sawyer and I went to clean out the car.


It took a long time to dry. I love how it turned out.
Thank you eighteen25 for the idea.

Did it come out 3d? the ones on the site you linked looked like it might…?
Not 3D, just really glossy. The one on the blog is gorgeous. I think if A had painted a background it would have “popped” more. Next time, I'll paint one too!!
