Art Time

The rain and fog rolled in this afternoon so we needed something to keep little hands busy. So it was time to bring out the Do A Dot Art Paint Markers and some print outs from DLTK-Kids. These paint markers let the kids paint in little circles. The print outs provide them with pictures full of little circles to try to fill in. A great combination for both creativity and hand-eye coordination. These markers are also great for when the kids want to paint but you don't want to have to deal with the bigger mess involved with finger paints. They are, of course, washable so even if the kids do manage to paint on themselves, it comes off super easy.
Katie is taking her time and being very serious.
Liam is working on filling in his heart so he can get to the important picture-the monster truck.
Kieran is very proud of his work.
I was rather surprised when Abby made sure to keep her dots in the right place after I showed her the first one.
This picture is from yesterday. Gabe wanted to try using the Color Wonder markers, too. So his big brother showed him how to color and I swear it was the first time Gabe smiled all day.
