One dreary, wet morning was all the encouragement we needed to dig out the paint, glitter, acorn caps, and peg people and create. The simple nudge of me quietly sitting down and painting one little elf by myself lit the creative fire of my two kids. They joined me with gusto (nearly crowded me right out of the craft corner!) and we painted together for an hour, and then I slipped away to prepare our lunch. They painted happily for the morning, guided by their own interests.
They are planning a new wee house built of scrap wood. I'll let you know how it turns out!
So cute! Where do you recommend getting the wooden peg people?
I buy them from Caseys Wood Products and also from Weir Dolls and Crafts.
Blessings,

They are very pretty!
How fun! Love their little acorn caps.
So pretty and fun. Love the acorn hats. It’s on my list of many things to do. We have bunch of these peg people from Casey’s I love ordering from them.
What kind of paint are you using. Thank you for the inspiration!!
my 2yo is sitting on my lap just now and said, “me love dat! wanna do dat.” when she saw the photo of your peg people. I think another fire of interest has been kindled. 🙂
The little acorn hats are adorable!
I love that you sparked their interest by doing.
Very sweet!
We use acrylic paints. I purchased a set of tiny tubes made by Reeves. They have lasted us almost 3 years so far! For wee kids watercolors work but require a top-coat of clear paint or the colors will wear off.
