Box of the Month: Frida Kahlo

PROJECTS INCLUDED:

Congress of People for Peace Reproduction
Self-Portrait with Bonito Shadowbox
Portrait Painting Technique
La Casa Azul Diorama

CONGRESS OF PEOPLE FOR PEACE REPRODUCTION

Kids will explore texture and contrast as they create a striking tree inspired by Frida Kahlo's Congress of People for Peace. Metallic foil and handmade textured paste bring dimension to the artwork, while a smooth watercolor background creates contrast. A sun, moon, shimmering fruit, and imaginative details complete this colorful mixed-media project.

SELF-PORTRAIT WITH BONITO SHADOWBOX

Inspired by Kahlo's love of self-portraiture, this layered shadow box transforms a painted portrait into a vibrant three-dimensional work of art. Young artists will combine watercolor painting, colorful flowers, tropical leaves, and a bold border to create a piece filled with color, depth, and personality.

PORTRAIT PAINTING TECHNIQUE

In this step-by-step portrait painting lesson, kids will learn how to draw facial features and create a self-portrait. A white-crayon resist technique adds pattern and texture to the painted background, while tissue-paper flowers offer a playful nod to Kahlo's signature style. Young artists are encouraged to personalize their portraits and celebrate what makes them unique.

LA CASA AZUL DIORAMA

Frida Kahlo was born, lived, worked, and later died in La Casa Azul—The Blue House—now one of Mexico City's most recognizable cultural landmarks. Kids will build their own three-dimensional version of this iconic home using watercolor, modeling clay, origami, and mixed-media details. This imaginative diorama brings together art, architecture, and history in one memorable final project.

"LOVE these crafts for my kids! The projects are so creative and always look amazing even if they don't look just like the pictures. My kids look forward to these boxes arriving in the mail and it's so much better than sitting on electronics."
