For a change of pace from paper, I mixed a small amount of dishwasher liquid in tempera paint and let Kiddo loose on the windows.
I can't remember exactly what he said, but while painting he made a reference to The Big Orange Splot. I'm going to do this again on a rainy day... what a nice way to experience tempestuous weather. Also good for disguising dirty windows.
I love how you taped it off to keep the painter some natural boundaries. I can't wait to try with my little guy!
ReplyDeleteI love the title of your blog!
ReplyDeleteSomeday I will dare to let my children do this, but I think they need to get a little older so that they differentiate between walls and windows...
I agree with Heidi, the tape boundaries are a great idea.
Nice--it looks like he had a wonderful time. I love letting their imaginations & creativity reign. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with commenter above, very smart of you to tape off the "no painting" areas. We use the window markers, but wondering if making some paint would be a little more interesting.
ReplyDeleteI recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
