There is something special about the feel of paint between your fingers.
Finger paint and stamping must be the most time consuming of paint types to set up and clean up but…..but gives the most satisfaction!
This was the 10 to 15 minutes into the painting session. I think we only stopped because we’d run out of surfaces to hand the paper on to dry out of reach of the LO.
The question : Tell me what’s going on there? Gave a very long answer that made me smile.
Painting isn’t just for them it’s for us too.
Do your children stamp?
