Painting...

Maybe I bit off more than I could chew.

Or maybe I'm just not versed enough on properly safeguarding for messy crafts.

Either way, I think this one is going to go away in a file folder until these kids are older.

No chance for pictures, yet.  I'll take one of the finished project once they dry.  Oddly enough, Aidan did better on this one as well, even though his were just random smears and droplets from when he'd stick the brush in paint and shake it.  Food coloring washes out, right?

Elisa thought that MORE was BETTER and gooped up her painting with so much paint that the paper disintegrated and two out of three of her paintings ended up in the trash can.

End result, though, both kids had a blast...but mommy was driven batty trying to keep paint off the floor, table, and tiny amount of clothes that was still showing under our coverups.  Aidan even managed to get ahold of one of the buckets of paint and spill it on the floor and all over Elisa's socks.  He thought it was hilarious.  Mommy, not so much.  But such is life with small kids and crafts, right?  So far, it all cleaned up.
