My sister recently posted a fun painting activity for her two youngest kids, and Jack and I thought we would give it a try. She put paper and paint in the bottom of a shoe box and let the kids roll a Matchbox car around to make car tracks. The paint (appeared to) stay contained and they had a fun picture to show when they were all finished.
So, between the rainstorms on Thursday we brought our paints outside and gave it a try. We grabbed the paper, a few cars, and the paint, and stripped Jack down to a diaper. I didn't have a shoe box and didn't want to worry about the mess, so I decided that he could get as messy as he'd like. It was fun for him and freeing for me.
He wasn't too interested in painting with the cars, but he did have fun making a mess.

Why does he insist on tasting the paint? |
