Keep Your Hands Where I Can See Them
What kid hasn’t cast a bunny shadow on their bedroom wall? Well big kid and Italian conceptual artist Mario Mariotti spent much of his life coaxing the art of hand sculpture out of the dark. The results are so beautiful, surprising, humorous and frankly inspirational enough to make me want to try my hand at it (sorry, couldn’t help it). I’m thinking a simple face painting kit could just as easily and safely be used on your kiddo’s hands for an afternoon of experimenting. View more of Mariotti’s ‘AniMani’ here or check out his 1998 children’s book Hanimations.

This will make a great Halloween costume - go as a zoo keeper or a host of other really cool and creative costumes - if I could only put my finger on something really unique! (Sorry couldn’t help it!)
