I have been working with Ava on
coloring with crayons for several weeks but she is much more
interested in trying to eat the crayons than actually coloring. Most
of the time I end up coloring while she moves on to something else
that interests her more!! I've even tried the toddler grip crayons
but those really just make her mad ;) This week I thought we'd try
finger painting instead. This way she easily sees the results of her
“handy” work. I had her in the high chair to prevent paint
getting all over my house. Once she got over the issue of dirty
hands, she loved it. She was pretty dainty about it at first but by
the end she really seemed to love it. She kept pointing at the paint
asking for more!! I'm pretty sure we had 15-20 master pieces by the
time she was done! We both loved the finger painting and I LOVED
watching her experience this new activity and have success with it.
Finger painting will definitely be a regular activity at our house
from now on.
