For the sake of the blog, we'll call this a DIY, but really it was just a fun project Hope and I whipped up. She's been very interested in foreign language lately, so yesterday as we were reading into "hello" in different languages, we came up with a way to incorporate them into a little art piece.
Supplies: Pretty paper. Window crayons.
*We used window crayons because they are very gummy and easy to spread around the paper.
Steps: Write on pretty paper with window crayons.
*See? This is less than a DIY.
When we were finished Hope said, "Can we really hang this in our house?" Yes, silly girl. Of course.
Side note: I cannot wait to be rid of these brown walls. The count down to moving has begun. (!)
Really, if you decide you don't want to write on your pretty paper you can always write the words on the outside of the glass. The window crayons are removable on slick surfaces, so you could always change it up.
Aw, I love this. I hope I'm a creative momma like you to a sweet little one (or ones), one day! :)
ReplyDeletethis is ADORABLE and so creative. nothing better than art filled with little kid handwriting! the glass/dry erase marker idea totally came to mind for me, too. wheels are turning thanks to you! xo. blog.tarapolly.com
ReplyDeleteI love this, and Hope is way too cute! I think this would be fun with variations of the word "Love". Might have to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cute idea! Where do you get the window crayons? I love reading your posts! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteReally such a fun project! I will do that surely if my little ones are big enough to write, Just one little thing, you would write "Guten Tag", in the right way. But I think this little unperfect details make it so much more special!
ReplyDeleteLove Penny
oh how adorable. great way to learn!
ReplyDeleteOh how adorable this very last photo is :D
ReplyDeleteThis poster is such a nice idea and a cute way of jazzing up a blank wall <3
it's great that Hope is getting insterest in foreign languages! I personally could only wish I had started learning a foreign language earlier. These days kids learn English here at elementary school but I remember my first English classes only when I had about 11 or 12 years old. I already spoke Portuguese and French before learning English but I remember that was the moment I decided I wanted to learn more languages! I can only tell it's great and really challenging :)
ReplyDeleteThis is ADORABLE. <3
ReplyDeleteLove it so much! Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeletehello from britain! Such a lovely picture done with so little cost and lots of imagination and a little of your magic! awesome!
ReplyDeleteReally great idea! And I love the idea of writing on the glass. It could be the "new chalkboard/whiteboard"!
ReplyDeleteDarling... something made by little hands but way nicer than anything you could buy. They sounded so proud of displaying your work... that is priceless!
ReplyDeleteDanielle http://awonderfullifeinfullframe.blogspot.ca/
that's a lovely idea <3
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely idea especially writing on the glass so you could add to it.
ReplyDeleteI have more languages for you to add!
ReplyDeleteSpanish: Hola!
Italian: Ciao! (Means both hello and goodbye)
Dutch: Hoi!
Georgian: Gamarjobat! (Georgian has a cool alphabet too: გამარჯობათ!)
Hello from Virginia! Hope you guys aren't baking out there in the mid west! Such a cute idea and how nice is it she is so interested in other languages!
ReplyDeleteso pretty!
ReplyDeleteShe could sell this and I will buy it!
This is so cute! I love the idea of having different languages around the house. What a great excuse to learn! :)
ReplyDeleteYou should have tried Japanese as well! I heard it was a very easy language to learn because sentence construction is a lot easier. You just have to put in a noun and connect it with a verb or predicative phrases and it's done! You do have to increase your vocabulary though.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Awesomesauce! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm soooo gonna get me some awesome paper and do this!!
ReplyDeletecan I give you another one?
ReplyDeleteKaixo!
xo from basque country
