Today Beatrix and I did a painting project!
I drew a quick tree with a brown crayon (you could cut one out of brown construction paper for added dimension, that would be really cute!)
To make the stamp, take a small handful of q-tips and tape them in a little bundle. I chose pink, green, and white paint. I was going to mix the white with the pink and the green to make them lighter, but I forgot to leave out a q-tip for mixing and Beatrix was getting antsy to start. It got all mixed up anyway!
We started with the tree upside down so she would be more likely to paint the branches. She really got into filling all the white spaces with paint!
So proud of her work! I did direct her just a little bit, I suggested she use green at the bottom like grass and rotated the paper to help her find empty spaces to paint so she didn't have to drag her arms through the fresh paint. But ultimately she was the artist!
I hope I will get back in the habit of posting more often - I have a few fun Spring ideas up my sleeve!
