Regular readers will know that the wee girl has developed a real love of painting. The paints come out most days; and random, splodgy pictures are produced.
Sometimes the effects she creates are really quite pretty and if I can extract the painting before it becomes a grey-brown soup of colour, then we end up with some fridge worthy pieces!
On this occasion I gave her some foam paint spreaders as well as brushes. She promptly removed the foam ends and just used the handles, putting paint on the ends and then using them to create patterns in the paint.
As this resulted in painty fingers she also added some finger-painting into the mix.
It is always interesting to see what her choice of colours will be. Generally pink and purple win, but she is starting to ask for other colours too, in this case blue and orange. I do love to see her so engaged with an activity, and I was quietly impressed with her finished masterpiece this time :)
Such a simple easy activity but the kids love it don’t they! Nice to see the wee girl having such a fun time xx
Exactly, I love it when she asks to paint as she is so engaged by it… Gives me five minutes for a cuppa :)
You can t beat just getting the paints out and letting them express themselves freely on the paper. A great winter indoor activity. #letkidsbekids
Oh yes, we’ve been doing a lot of painting recently. This particular masterpiece was done a little while ago as evidenced by the green garden visible in the background ;)
I love when children just enjoy and express themselves with painting. And actually I really like wee girl’s choice of colours!
Absolutely, so do I. And, I agree, I really like how the colours worked on this one :)
Aaah what a beautiful painting. She is definitely having fun :)

What a great painting, love the way kids find their own use for objects – who needs foam anyway!
