first art.

Violet did her first painting last week! This was so fun. She has colored before but I can only imagine the brilliant paint colors being a much more satisfying product for her. She made quite a mess, even had to taste it (Amber tells me it's normal for little ones to want a sample...the paint was non-toxic, and one lick was enough to tell her she DID NOT want any more of that!) Here's a few pictures:

Oh, she was a MESS!! She went straight to the tub!





















Finally examining her masterpiece.























Look, Ma!














Here's a link worth sharing to a blog on incorporating art into your young child's life. It's really inspired me to just let her get her hands dirty and start experimenting. Check out The Artful Parent.
