Logan's first time painting
Logan has reached the 6 month mark, and in my mind this means he can start participating in some more projects with us! Which totally excites me. For some projects we wait until he takes his morning nap, so I can focus more on the boys, and their questions. Other times Logan cooperates, and loves to watch us do an activity!
Today he got to finger paint for the first time with paint! He loved it, and got a few minutes in before he tried to eat it ;)

Painting in the driveway
With summer coming to an end (very upset about that) I decided to squeeze in a couple more "messy" projects that would best be done outdoors. One of the ones in mind was painting the driveway. It was really probably a good thing that we did this during a week that it wasn't AS hott outside because our driveway is black and can get reallllllly hott!
Anyways, first I had to make some paint. I mixed 1/4 cup of corn starch and mixed with 1/4 cup of water. I made four of them, and added food coloring into each! Then we went outside to paint!!
Todd was jealous of all the fun we were having, and had to join in!!
It was a fun way to end summer!! Easy cleanup too! ;) This is another one that can be done with babies, since the paint can be edible (but gross!)

Ice Bricks
Connor has been very into building things lately. Blocks have become more then just stacking and knocking down. He really explores them now, and uses his imagination. He loves to build "briges" (bridges), and push his cars and trains under. He also builds train tracks, and houses.
So I decided to try to make some 'ice bricks' to build with. I filled a cupcake tin and a snack tray up with water and food coloring. I put foam letters in them (assuming they would freeze in the middle of the ice... however they floated so didnt go as planned). This is how they turned out...
We then built with them. I also gave the boys a hammer to break them, and get the letters out. Both boys were naming colors and letters. We were also comparing the different sizes. We had so many great conversations from these!
((look how engaged!!))
After a while Connor pointed out that his hands were turning colors, and kept calling it paint. Then I said great idea. We did paint with ice before, and decided to do it again!
We all had a lot of fun with this project (however, I havent found one that didn't bring smiles). The boys were really into it, and it lasted a good while! I want to try this one again when Logan is a bit older! This could be something real young ones could do as well!

WayBack Wednesday
I bought Connor a paint with water book a little before his first birthday! I thought what a great way to practice using a paintbrush and learn about colors without a huge mess! He loved dipping the brush in the water and spreading it around!

Gift Bow Painting
For free art Friday we used gift bows dipped in paint to create a picture :D It made some pretty cool designs, and kept the Christmas spirit going!
This is an easy project that even really young ones can enjoy! Its great for hand-eye coordination and those little fine motor skills!

Connor's first time finger painting.. He was only 6 months old :D
He loved how it felt! It was also great practice for his developing hand-eye coordination at the time!
