5 Gold Ring Water Color Painting
The 12 Days of Christmas is one of my favorite stories to read with my girls. I love the whole idea. It has been tons of fun to join other in bring fun ideas for the 12 days of Christmas! Today is 5 Gold Rings.
I’m joining 5 other bloggers to Blog about the the 12 days of Christmas! I am happy to say that I’m day 5. This is a fun project and we are really enjoying it! Be sure to check out their posts as well!
Each year we read the 12 Days of Christmas. Two of our favorite books are The Twelve Days of Christmas by Jan Brett
What you need for this activity: circle cookie cutter
You start by tracing the inside of the circle cookie cutter
Next you wet down the brush and with as little water as you can. Then you move the brush back and forth across the lines to move the yellow color around. When you use less water you get a better swipe of the brush.
Here is a look at our final project.
We had so much fun with this we did some colored rings as well.

How fun! I love that you also kept the art fun going and did colored rings 🙂
We tie books into our build up to the holiday as well. I think that reading to a child creates amazing bonds and needs to be part of everyday, and when, we can read special books that tie into the holidays, it creates lasting memories. Turning the books into a craft as well is a great idea.
I’ve never even heard of watercolor crayons but they look awesome!
Wow, this is another good activity! I can totally see my kid using the Montessori metal insets for this work. It’s a wonderful extension for Christmas. Thanks!!
My children would love this simple art project! Thanks for the inspiration.
