Hello. A DIY

For the sake of the blog, we'll call this a DIY, but really it was just a fun project Hope and I whipped up.  She's been very interested in foreign language lately, so yesterday as we were reading into "hello" in different languages, we came up with a way to incorporate them into a little art piece.


Supplies:  Pretty paper.  Window crayons.
*We used window crayons because they are very gummy and easy to spread around the paper.


Steps:  Write on pretty paper with window crayons.
*See?  This is less than a DIY.


When we were finished Hope said, "Can we really hang this in our house?"  Yes, silly girl.  Of course.

Side note:  I cannot wait to be rid of these brown walls.  The count down to moving has begun. (!)

Really, if you decide you don't want to write on your pretty paper you can always write the words on the outside of the glass.  The window crayons are removable on slick surfaces, so you could always change it up.

  5. Really such a fun project! I will do that surely if my little ones are big enough to write, Just one little thing, you would write "Guten Tag", in the right way. But I think this little unperfect details make it so much more special!

  8. it's great that Hope is getting insterest in foreign languages! I personally could only wish I had started learning a foreign language earlier. These days kids learn English here at elementary school but I remember my first English classes only when I had about 11 or 12 years old. I already spoke Portuguese and French before learning English but I remember that was the moment I decided I wanted to learn more languages! I can only tell it's great and really challenging :)

  35. This is so cute! I love the idea of having different languages around the house. What a great excuse to learn! :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. You should have tried Japanese as well! I heard it was a very easy language to learn because sentence construction is a lot easier. You just have to put in a noun and connect it with a verb or predicative phrases and it's done! You do have to increase your vocabulary though.
