Lately, I have been trying to be better about doing little crafts with the kids. So far we have done lots of painting. But the kids LOVE to paint, especially Nathan.
This is a day we did "blob" paintings. My intention was to have the kids paint on one side of the paper & then fold the other side against to make a mirror image. It worked very well with Ryan, but Nathan had too much fun painting on both sides of the paper & then Ryan wanted to "help" fold Nathan's over.
As the boys were painting, Nathan looks over at me & says "G". I look at his paper & this is what I see:
A few minutes later he does the same thing, except he says, "S"...
He is not quite 2 years old & knows his ABC's and numbers! He even drew a "G" & "S.
Before & after folding Ryan's paper in half.
During & after the folding of Nathan's paper.
The boys wanted to keep painting after finishing their blob pictures, so I pulled out some food coloring mixed with water & a few straws.
I helped them get the colored water onto their papers & then the boys blew through the straws to make all kinds of fun patterns. As you can see Ryan had fun blowing in his straw while Nathan decided it was more fun to chew on it!
