This week when we finally had some time at home Jelly Bean and I had a wonderful time exploring paint. I put out a huge piece of paper, gave her primary coloured paints and a bunch of strange things to paint with and let her loose. She has a great time and I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed just mucking about with the paint. For little ones it's all about exploring a medium not the outcome.
I put out paint brushes, string, a doll shoe, a pipe cleaner, a shower pouf, some round sponges, a dish brush and left the rest to her. I painted along side her and just let her do whatever she wanted. I know she loves to get messy and I am trying very hard to keep my clean-freak side from influencing her. I bit my tongue many times during our session and tried not to cringe to much when she touched me with painty hands.
Of course painting herself became the most fun. She started off painting her feet and then I had to stripe her so she wouldn't paint her clothes. In the end she was covered in paint from head to toe. One of my favorite moments was when she decided the dolls shoe should fit her. It was so funny to see her putting it on her toes again and again.
