I had read somewhere about making potato stamps for kids to use with finger paint. I'd been meaning to get around to it for awhile, but hadn't quite. Then I read in a child psychology book how important it is for kids to get messy and enjoy themselves, and I noticed that Chandler was having me clean her hands a lot and volunteering to help me clean up messes. Time for some paint/mess.
But first, some banana.
Now, some paint.
And a potato stamp.
Doesn't she look like she's enjoying herself?
Enough of this foolishness. Chandler got taken directly to a bath - no need to drag the messiness all over the house - and had one of her first baths without her big sister. She loved it! She spent about a half hour pouring water, walking from one end of the tub to the other, and lying down in the tub, just like her big sister. Usually, her sister is in the tub with her and they spend their time competing for space.
I'm not so sure Chandler relished the paint, but she did have a great time messing about in the water. I wonder if that counts.
