• Creative Kids: Outdoor Painting Fun

    The girls love their easel and can often be seen drawing with crayons, colored pencils or chalk, but their absolute favorite activity is painting.   When we have a nice day outside and a few minutes we will take the easel out onto the front porch and let the girls paint.  Over the years it is amazing to see their painting masterpieces become even more beautiful and specific.

  • Craft Activities: Time to Paint

    The girls enjoy summer and all the fun activities that come along with it! One of the activities they insisted on doing regularly was painting. They have a blast doing it and I like that it helps them work on their hand eye coordination as well as creativity.

    Karlie had so much fun coloring her craft that she used up almost all the paint that came with it.  She was really good about rinsing out her brush!

    She wanted the picture to be perfect! Brina had fun painting her pretty picture.

    I am thrilled to see how much the girls enjoy crafts.  It is neat seeing them take time to be creative, neat, and make the craft extra special.  They are even getting better about not making such a huge mess (which is nice for Mommy too).  My babies are growing up so quickly.  I am thankful for our time together this summer and will be sad to see them go back to school soon.
