Dots!

We have a grá (Irish for love!) for dots. Here's a fun project to do with friends and family – in person or virtually.

Supplies

  • Paper (any size but we like 5-1/2"x8-1/2")

  • Black markers

  • Dot stickers or trace and color in a quarter or bottle cap

 

Steps

  • Place one or more dots on a piece of paper

  • Doing a drawing that incorporates the dot. Perhaps an animal, vehicle, place, insect, robot, alien, bug, sport or food. The possibilities are as limitless as your imagination!

  • Hang them up together as a quilt and enjoy the variety of ideas.

Doodle

’wan (Irish for go on)! This is a truly satisfying artistic adventure!

  • Use one of our templates like the clover or create your own outlined drawing.

  • Fill it in with doodle patterns.

  • Color it to your heart's content. 

There's no arseways (Irish for wrong way!) to do it!

For added fun, add text to tell a story about the drawing. It can be dialogue, caption, quote, or poem.

Mirroring and Notan

All you need is paper, scissors and glue to enjoy this fun and easy project that explores positive and negative space. We're sure you'll come up with a brilliant design.

 

We're showing two versions:

  • Mirroring, a 2-directional flip that's great for beginnings

  • Traditional square Notan, a 4-directional flip

Word Search Puzzles

It's time to go green! There are so many fabulous things that are green in this world.

 

How many of them can you find in this word search puzzle? Words can be placed in any direction and share letters.

 

Then, put on your thinking cap and make a list of blue things to create your very own word search puzzle.
