When I saw this, I was excited to try it with Remi. My Mom is a pre-school teacher, and I always loved seeing what kinds of projects she would come up with for her kids to do either for fun or as gifts for their parents. My experience at my son’s school so far is there isn’t much emphasis on artwork or creativity. I know he’s only 13 months, but there are a lot of fun things you can do with kids this age, even if they don’t quite grasp what they are doing yet. Anyhow, I think creating art is important, and it’s an important part of growing up for kids. I always needed a creative outlet when I was growing up, whether it was drawing, writing, or crafting something up, I needed the ability to create something from nothing, or nearly nothing. I guess that sort of explains this blog….doesn’t it?
This wasn’t just a Mommy and Remi activity, Daddy got involved too, which was great!
This pin was pretty easy to execute because I already had everything I needed to do this. Like I said, I am creative, I have lots of things around to create things at random.
I found a piece of white paper, but you could use anything. I put it in the large, freezer size Ziploc bag.
I added paint, Bears colours for fun! I taped it down to the tray of Remi’s high chair and just added Remi! Mike and I had to help him a bit, and looking back I think I would probably add more paint to the baggie, but it really was mess-free fun for the entire family. I’m sure we’ll be repeating this activity again and maybe even figuring out ways to hang this artwork around the house. Pinterest probably has some sort of solution for that… J
