Here you will find some coloring, painting options for kids, including tshirts and wrapped canvas.
If your kids want to do more than color, for their art to have some kind of purpose, consider outlines on tshirts that can be colored in with paint markers. They then get to wear their art or gift it to someone.
This parrot is ready for some color. What colors would your child make this parrot?
I have found that acrylic paint pens work the best for this activity. With paint pens, there is a lot less chance for paint spills. Do keep the lids on though when shaking the markers to mix the paint. The tip has been known to fly across the room when I forgot to put the lid back on. You can check out the paint pens that are rated for fabric on Amazon. Overall, there is less mess with paint pens than bottled paints.
The painting, coloring can also be done with acrylic fabric paint and paint brushes. Either way, remember to place a flat sheet of cardboard between the two layers of fabric before the painting begins. Also be sure that your table surface is protected before the painting begins. If you use brushes, I recommend a variety. It's nice having some flat edge brushes as well as ones with small tips.
Want a different outline design on tshirts? Check out more outline tshirts in my CherylsArt store on Zazzle.
For something that can be hung afterwards, there are outline drawings on wrapped canvas. Those that are feeling more creative, they can also add their own additional details; such as grass and trees for this camel, zebra, and elephant drawing. The kids can make it be their own version of a safari!
Let the creativity begin.

Happy Easter Postcards
Here you will find postcards for sending your Easter greetings. If you're looking for something unique and/or colorful, you've come to the right place.
This first one is my favorite to date. I did a painting of Easter eggs on a wispy pastel background. The eggs are in various colors and are decorated in pointillism designs.
This cute bunny rabbit is happy with all of its colors, a wonderful message for Easter and or for any time of the year. I drew the plaid design in on my artwork, not the bunny. : )
Are you a love of Easter eggs and or jelly beans? Then this design is for you. I had painted this colorful painting of Easter eggs, and then afterwards, I saw that they also look a lot like jelly beans!
Do you prefer realistic looking rabbits? This painting was inspired by poses of various rabbits that I have seen visit my yard.
All of the above designs can be customized with your own Easter greeting or message.
Happy Easter.

The Shamrocks are coming
It is February as I write this, and I'm thinking ahead to March. The month when people think of green cheer and shamrocks.
Through the years I've made several different shamrock designs. I love the green, and have always loved four leaf clovers. My dad gave me one in a necklace one time, it was a real shamrock encased in a clear like plastic shell.
This first design reminds me very much of the one I saw in the necklace. It was a muted green, and very simple:

Here is an outline of it that can be colored in by hand. I have found that fabric, acrylic paint markers work pretty well for the coloring. Be sure to add cardboard between the fabric layers before any painting, though.

Coloring Dinosaurs Shirts
Welcome. Here you will find tshirts with outline designs of dinosaurs. They can be worn as they are, or colored in with fabric paint. If you like doing embroidery, you could even embroider the outlines.
When I was a kid, I loved coloring in the outline designs that were printed on table cloths, and I still have one of them. There are a lot more options now.
Kids love to color, and they also like to feel useful, as do adults. With these fun prehistoric dinosaur shirts, both boys and girls can get in on some coloring fun. Afterwards they will also have a shirt to be proud of that they can wear and or give as a gift.
These tshirts feature three outline drawings of dinosaurs: pteranodon, tyrannosaurus, and a brontosaurus, all pictured on the same shirt. You can select the shirt style and color.
These links will take you to my CherylsArt store on Zazzle.
Happy coloring.
If they're not into coloring in the dinosaurs, this design also looks great, as is, on dark colored shirts.
Here are the individual dinosaur drawings on tshirts. You can select the shirt style and color of your choice, for any of the designs.

A fun way to play hangman
Hangman is a spelling game where one person thinks of a word or phrase and draws lines, one for each letter of the word or words. The other player or players takes turns guessing letters; the originator of the word or phrase fills in the correct letters on the drawn lines, as they are guessed, until the word or words are spelled or until someone guesses what the word or phrase is. If the called letter isn't needed in the word or words, the originator draws a body part on the poll, creating a hang man.
The game continues in this fashion until the word or words are guessed or until the stick man is filled in on the hanging poll, whichever occurs first.
My daughter and I played this game one night and went through quite a bit of paper. So I got the idea to create the game on a dry erase board. It was not only fun, we also got to write on a hard surface, which was an added plus. It was also nice to play several games and then erase them.
I thought it would be even more fun, to have a convenient alphabet handy. Then players can readily see which letters have already been called. The word originator draws a line through the called letter in the alphabet line, whether the letter is used in the word or words, or not.
You can order you hangman dry erase board by clicking on the link below, which will take you to my CherylsArt store on Zazzle.com.
The paper PostItNotes is also a fun and portable version. These can be carried along in a purse or tote bag; then you can easily play while waiting for your meal, etc, or just because. This size measures 4 by 3 inches and has two hangman games per page.
A larger hangman notepad 5.5 by 6 inch version can be seen here.
Enjoy.

Here are the designs to celebrate the runner in you and or the runners in your family and or friends.
My daughter used to run cross country and really liked it. She was the inspiration for this female runner in the above watch.
.
One of the local races in our area ran near our house. This design features my silhouette painting of three men running by as they were rounding the corner. Most of the runners that day were male. They were the inspiration for the above design.
Check on Amazon if you are looking for a Smart Watch. Smart watches have a lot of features that can be beneficial to runners.
Happy running. Are you a runner, or do you have a runner in your family?

Pizza Party Ideas and Supplies
Here are some fun pizza invitations and ideas to help you out with your pizza party.
These pizza themed postcard invitations can be filled in by hand on the pre-printed form, or you can customize the text online before placing your order. They feature my painting of a whole pizza. The cover text can be customized to the type of party that you are having.
The pizza can be served up on fun paper plates:
Kids can color in their own pizza on canvas tote bags. The coloring design is also on canvas bags for coloring fun. I recommend fabric paint markers
. There is less mess than with tubes, bottles, and brushes. If you do the coloring activity, be sure to place a flat sheet of cardboard in between the fabric layers. It is also best for the painting to be done during the early part of the party so that the paint can be drying while the kids are enjoying other activities.
There's also a special apron for the chef and or pizza server:
Enjoy.
