With Easter just around the corner, what better way to introduce little D to some of the traditions than to teach her the art of painting Easter Eggs!
Watercolors have become a favorite activity recently, and the eggshells provided a fun new surface for her to paint on. Admittedly, she loves swirling the paint brush in the water bowl the most, but she did a great job with the actual paint, too!
She loved getting to choose colors to paint and did a pretty spectacular job of holding both the egg and the paintbrush! We used the very inexpensive little color kit from the grocery store and drew some on some of the eggs with the included "invisible crayon" prior to dunking them in the dye, and others we (the grown ups) wrote on with a Sharpie before painting them.
D's little hands were just too sweet for words. She did a great job with all of it - and was so concentrated on the task. A fine little student we have here, don't you think?
I was also impressed by how fascinated she was by the color on the paper towel under the eggs. When we finished and were getting cleaned up, she held it up and said,"Ooh. So pretty!"
