Paint, Paint and More Paint

Today was the start of Pint-Sized Picasso class for Isabelle. She had so much fun and was covered from head to toe in paint. But she loved every minute of it. The session was perfect for her. She could go to any station that she had an interest in and not all stations were dealing with making something. She could learn her colors, read books or even take a moment to catch up on life by playing with the toys in the room. And of course no art day would be complete without painting outside. After all there are those artists who prefer the natural light as opposed to artificial. So get ready Grandma’s because here come the art projects. She made a ton of stuff on the easel and those will be coming your way soon. We had to leave our wet projects there to dry. This was great, because I’m not sure how I would have juggled them out of the room wet. I have some great pictures of her painting that I will load up when I get the film sent in. My hopes of having the digital camera today were dashed when it did not arrive yesterday. Not that I would have known how to use it but it would have been fun.

So Isabelle and I had paint everywhere. I had to make sure she did not leave too much paint on the chairs as other kids and moms were using them as well. She even tried to make one of her classroom friends a piece of art. Thankfully the mom was ok about it and very understanding. I was a little bit embarrassed but what are you going to do. I think that overall our painting art expedition was a lot of fun and Isabelle had a blast. There were some projects that she did not find as fun as others but she tried everything out at least once. Now if only they had easy signs for colors we would be in business.
