With the big kids back in school, and the babies in preschool only twice a week, we did a fun project for the newest big kids!
I guess they're not babies any more, but they will always be these cute, chubby babies to me!
So we decided to do a little canvas painting! We bought two canvases from WalMart for $7 total, a bag of brushes for $3, and some paint for $0.95. We made an impromptu smock out of our old duvet cover that I keep in the car to cover the seats with... Just cut it to size and cut arm holes... Perfect!
Ready to work...
Bag O brushes...
They had a great time, picking out which brushes were theirs, and which they would use first!
Then laid out a garbage sack, and secured it down with rocks on the corner...
Poured on some paint and let them at it...
They had a blast! It was fun watching them paint, very carefully, then realize they could do whatever they wanted, and they became totally engrossed in it. Kate's started off as a rainbow... But like we all find ourselves, unable to step away, they rainbow was soon completely covered...
And then we painted the rocks!
