We invite the kids to get involved in plenty of projects around the house because at the ages 2, 5, and 12, they’re at the ages where they truly want to help and learn and create. It’s a fun time when I can draw them into my “work,” especially the little ones, because handmade children’s art is still one of my favorite things and those two are in their prime right now. The opportunity to design 6 art projects this spring for HGTV set us all down a path of discovery, and the projects that were published are ones you’d probably enjoy for your own family too:
