Hopefully, with washable paint! But I know what you mean.... When they were younger, I went to a great little art and frame and gifts store, and picked up all sorts of little things to do when they came here. Colored scratch boards, glittery clay that when baked, dries...blank puzzles that they could color or paint, then pull apart, and put them back together, lots of Sculpy...I had them make small things both because it's too expensive to do big stuff, but they concentrate much more to do a good job....and of course, regular crayons, colored pens and pencils, some of which they could color in, then paint with water, and voila' ...watercolors without the mess...
Grandaughter is VERY creative, and he can be, but needs to be praised for trying....She had to learn that we all have 'gifts differing'....<ggg>
He is a total video game hound, but at our house, and I am in charge....we do everything else but that much of their time with me...
Kids are so much fun when they are little, that's for sure!
All of them like to "help" make cookies, so they can eat them.... |
