Random Mobile Shots

There’s a playground near Waldo’s brother’s house.  The day we decided to walk to the playground was nice and cool and a little overcast when we left.  By the time we got there the sun had come out and all of the play equipment was too hot to play on except for the bottom half of one slide.  We had to keep putting Lil on the slide in the middle over and over again.  She was perfectly happy with the situation.

Fingerpainting never gets old

Posted on by

I was at Boarders the other day stalking their 30% off kids books and found a art smock and fingerpaint paper pad that I just couldn’t pass up.  I am sick and tired of using my old t-shirts for Lil’s craft covers.  They do a crappy job and occasionally I need to wear the shirts again and lo and behold they are stained with washable paint.  I think the smock and the paper pad were about $4 a piece and I found out they are totally worth it.

We started out with some slick stick crayons. (I highly recommend these crayons.  The colors are bold and bright.)

Next came the paint.

I decided to do a folded butterfly painting and Lily was all for it.

Fingerpainging

I don’t think she had enough paint on the paper because when I pressed the pages together there was hardly anything on the second side.

So Lil added more paint. (apparently I didn’t get any pictures of the finished butterfly.)

Fingerpainging

I realized that Lily mostly fingerpaints with her palms, so I showed her how to just use her fingertips.

Lots of circles and spirals were the outcome.

I am so happy with the smock.  It kept Lily clean and was easy to clean off.  I totally wish I would have broke down and bought one months ago.
