Art Time

Today, I pulled out the paints, markers, scissors and paper; and we went to town doing artsy things. We started by making handprint turkeys in honor of Thanksgiving coming just around the corner. Then, I let Brayden loose with scissors and markers while Layna did her thing with markers. They had so much fun and created some great pieces of art.
It was a lot of fun for all of us...Brayden usually doesn't get into art, but this time he had a blast. He was "writing letters" (aka scribbling, but telling me which letters he was writing)!!! Layna was having fun taking the caps off the markers, coloring her hands and then putting the capless markers and the caps back into the container. I had fun cleaning up that disaster, but she had a great time doing it.










Layna's handprint turkey...she WAS NOT a happy camper when I was putting the paint on her hands, but we got through it.

Brayden's handprint turkeys. He LOVED having me paint his hands. He kept telling me it tickled!
