Making a Mess!!

Today I did something very brave...I broke out the finger paints for the first time and allowed Benjamin to create to his heart's content. Thanks to Crayola Washables, the mess wasn't too painful to clean up afterwards. Man, what a hit this activity was!


Testing the waters with this new form of art, at first Ben explored the colors individually and neatly.


All warmed up and ready to get more daring. Here's Ben with his "potato stamps" that I made him. Ah, memories of elementary school art class...



I love being messy...and this mess is actually okay with Mom!



Here's some serious creating from our two-year-old, now working with not only his potato stamps but also a piece of a pine tree, a lollipop stick and a lasagna noodle for extra fun!



Now wait a minute, Mom, I didn't say you could take that many photos of me looking such a wreck!



Presenting our piece de resistance!



Here's one cute photo of Ben after getting sort of cleaned up, well, clean enough to not get paint on everything but there are still many remnants in his hair. Luckily it is bath night. Look how big his eyes are!
