20 easy art projects for kids that turn out AMAZING!

In today’s post: Find all sorts of fun and easy art projects for kids that turn out pretty enough to frame!

As a mom, I love just about any art projects my kids make, whether it’s colored macaroni glued onto construction paper or a painted pinecone covered in glitter. Ok, that’s not completely true – glitter is evil and the bane of my existence – but in general my mom heart is just going to love whatever my kid just made. However, I especially love cool kids art that ends up looking, well, really cool! Today I’m sharing 20 different easy art ideas for kids or adults that are guaranteed to turn out beautiful (no offense, macaroni painting).

Gorgeous art projects for kids! Easy art that turns out amazing.

    The monster blown paint project is also a great way to do The Scream by Munch. Have the kids mimic themselves portrait style like the original, then add crazy hair with the straw paint!
