I've mentioned the facebook group Embrace Your Art Daily before, it's an amazing group. They inspire you to create 365 days of the year, giving prompts with ideas for your art. The prompts and group members are absolutely wonderful.

This Number tree - educational art, was done entirely with Crayola Colored pencils, and was inspired by the #5 prompt "numbers." 

This is an older picture, I'm pretty sure I did this one while I was still pregnant with Kinley. Noah loves it, and I was pretty proud of how it turned out also. I love being able to incorporate educational art into daily lessons and play.

I use art as my "me" time, my "mommy recharging" time, and I don't have to feel guilty about it when what I'm working on will be something we can use together to learn something.

Number Tree - Educational Art - Crayola Colored Pencils ​

This Numbers tree - educational art, was done entirely with Crayola Colored pencils, and was inspired by the #5 prompt "numbers." from the facebook group Embrace your art daily.

Most of my art is mixed media, it's very rare that a picture is completed with just my Crayola Colored Pencils. However, I'm almost positive that this piece was from when I was still pregnant with Kinley, which means that the colored pencils are probably what I had with me and I didn't want to waddle anywhere to find my sharpie markers, or watercolors.

Noah and I have been working on numbers and counting for a long time now, and he still likes this picture. He will be 2 next month, and can already count to 15. Check out the video of the hiccuping count by clicking the link at the bottom of this page. He only made it to 13 here, but he was tired and teething.
I love how excited he gets when he's counting, and how proud he is of himself, and how proud we all are of him. "Tree" was one of his first words, which makes this picture that much more special to both of us.  

As an introvert, I use alone time, and quiet time, to recharge and decompress, but as a mother of 2 kids under 2,  I usually feel guilty if and when I do get any time alone. That is what makes educational art so perfect for me. Knowing that what I'm working on is giving me the relaxing feeling of creating art, and that I'll be able to use it to help the kids learn something makes everything sit much more comfortably.

Thank you! I absolutely love that group and the people in it. I honestly believe they're the reason I even started really sharing my art to begin with. The amount of support is unbelievable, and the prompts are SO much fun. They give you just enough of an idea to plant a creative seed and the rest is up to you!

    This is a  collection of my artwork, ranging from mixed media whimsy, to educational art for my kids. Most pieces are done with Bic Mark it markers, crayola colored pencils, oil pastels, sharpie markers, watercolor paint, and/or watercolor pencils.

    I've always loved arts and crafts, but as with everything, time became limited, and it ended up being an "on again, off again" thing. I was more into "crafts" than "Art-art" because I never felt like I really knew what I was doing and was embarrassed by all of my attempts of drawing/painting.

    Thankfully, my kids love art time, and that’s given me the time and “excuse” to play with new techniques as well as old ones. I've joined a few art groups that have been very supportive and have given me a new confidence to create & show my work.
