For Christmas the kids got an easel. I put it in the kitchen with every intention of using it all the time. Well, we do use the chalk board side often, but for some reason I did not want to paint. I never thought I would have a hard time with messy art projects – but I do! So lots of paint, kids not trapped in their seats, and roaming around the kitchen = stressful!!!
I finally broke down and bought 11 different colors of tempra paint. Then it sat, unused for a couple of weeks. Last weekend when Joshua was taking a nap, I wanted to do something quiet….so we painted.
Two brushes at once!
Painting circles
And it worked out great. They both got to paint at the same time. Each kid got to pick 3 colors to paint with. Wesley chose black, purple and blue. Jillian chose yellow, orange and pink.
Just some of the masterpieces.
Now that I know how easy it was, we will be doing it more often!
Wesley's "Beetle": purple legs, blue antenna, blue eye with a black body.
Jillian's "Circles and Lines"
Wesley's "Feathers"
Jillian's "Wild"
