Colorful Mud Paintings for Our Mud Bakery

We created Colorful Mud Paintings for our New Mud Bakery and Cafe.  All Cafes need a little art on the wall or in the trees. (since we have no walls)  C thought it was a great idea....it didn't take much to convince this sometimes stubborn almost 6 year old to make some mud paintings again.  Keep reading to find out how we created our paintings.


For Colorful Mud Paintings you'll need:
Mud
Water
Food colors
brushes
paper, cardboard, or Scrap Matte Board
Containers

To create our mud paint (this is not an exact recipe) we put some mud, water, and food color in plastic cups and mixed it all up.



Then, we began painting....my daughter loved this. If I brought out regular paint she wouldn't have been as interested, but when you change things up a bit.....success!



Splatter Painting.



Cat Painting.



Colors.



Are whole array of Colorful Mud Paintings for our Mud Bakery.



I even made some mud paintings in my sketchbook for TInkerlab's DPS Challenge. Find out more about the challenge here.



Another sketchbook mud painting.

Our Mud Bakery and Cafe Reinvented

We had a lot of fun with our Mud Bakery from last year so we decided to create a "newer" version complete with "mud painted" signs for 2012.  Keep reading to find out what else we added to the set-up.



We added part of a plastic shelving system to create the preparation area for "new" mud treats. Water buckets underneath for our water source and a big pile of mud to the left (not visible) complete with shovels for easy access.



Our new version includes a Cafe with our Bakery.



It also includes more bakers to help.



New treats such as our daisy petal mud cake, mud cup daisies, birthday mud cups, and sandy mud cakes.



And more: Mud Drizzled Pie.



And our Colorful Mud Birthday Cake with powdered sand.


Looking forward to creating more Mud Bakery treats.  Stay tuned for our next post to find out what else we included in our "New" Mud Bakery.

What else do you think we should add to the Mud Bakery?
