Painting Fun...
Last night we took out the water colour paints for Elsie to explore with. This was the first time she had really played with paint...I think one day the aunties tried to show her how to use paint but she didn't really get into it! Last night she loved to paint...she made lots of lovely pictures...we have one proudly displayed on the fridge...
At first she was so happy to carefully dip the brush into the water than the paint than the paper...I think I am a bad influence because before long I was showing her how to paint with her fingers...and she enjoyed that! I firmly believe in creativity...and that creative messes are a good thing!
Quite the little artist! I think this something we will be doing often!

i totally agree that creative messes are a good thing. in fact, a very good thing. too many parents won't let their kids make messes or get dirty or even play with play-dough because it's too messy. i say 'nonsense' to all that! kids are natural artists - but it's up to the parents to loosen up and allow them to explore! all of you kids were allowed to create to your heart's content - and you've all turned out to be creative adults that aren't afraid to think outside the box.
good job, elsie!
