I minored in art in college, and painting, drawing, working with clay, doing beadwork, sewing, quilting, and knitting has always been a part of my life. If I don't feel like playing music, I get my creative juices flowing another way by bringing out the watercolor paints, practicing hand lettering with brush markers, or I turn on Art for Kids Hub on YouTube, and my kids and I practice our drawing skills.
This is another great way to get me out of the kitchen and turn my focus off food. Within five minutes, I'm so involved in creating art that noshing is far from my mind.
