Boxes make the best toys. Whenever we get a big box I let it sit around until there's too much fighting. (sometimes twenty minutes, sometimes two days...) The boys made up a little game this morning.
After we finished the regular school books, I decided to be brave and bring out some paints. Valentine had been given this acrylic paint and canvas set a while back. The paints went on nice and thick, and covered up the pre-printed pictures. They didn't mind.
Edmund says "my favorite color is black" and used two paint brushes at the same time. That way he can get out of there sooner. Surprisingly he painted the entire canvas.
Valentine is more of an artist, taking her time and painting multiple pictures.
That last picture is her and Daddy. Holding hands. (awwww.)
My art teacher would love her. Too bad the school she's teaching at is so far away. There is a school closer to us that offers and art class once a month. I'm going to look into that a little more for next school year.
