Hours of Fun

I’m wrapping up taxes which is a lot of office work so to keep BBC occupied all I have to say is “Wanna Paint?”! This boy will paint twelve ways to Sunday. One of his favorite ways to paint is with…

Marbles!
See how he meticulously places them on the paper.

(BTW, like his studio? I figure I’m going to have to scrub in here anyway so might as well let him go crazy – right? I do take up the rugs before turning him lose!)

Shake!

Voila – Masterpiece!

    I love that you let him do that. I let my kids get messy…it helps their creativity.

    We must have the same kid. Gavin wants to “make sumthing” every day and painting is at the top of his list.
    As for the marbles, I had heard of that same technique to make your own patterned scrapbook paper. He’s ahead of his time!!
