My girls love painting too. And it is messy. We do it at least twice a week. I try to make them use q-tips as brushes. That way I can throw them out. They would want to clean the brush between every color and it just got ridiculous. Now I give them a handful of q-tips and they can keep their colors separate. They still spread paint all over their hands to make handprints.
I really want to make a "foot book" with them during spring break and make a bunch of foot prints, kind of like Dr. Suess' book. I may have to do that on the deck.
yes the huge painting mess :) my girls say all good artist are messy I think they must me right.

Very blessed wife and mother living each moment of each day under God's amazing grace. I love to blog about what God is teaching me, what God is teaching my kids through me, and pretty much everything else too. This blog is an outlet for me to keep my sanity and serves a few other purposes: 1. To give out of town family a glimpse into our lives and record memories, 2. To track our homeschool, and 3. To share information and inspiration. I hope you have been lifted up by visiting me here. Thanks for dropping by.
