Little Artists...




Benjamin and Ada received an art easel for Christmas from their uncle Craig and aunt Stephanie. The art easel has a chalk board, dry erase board, and two clips to hang paper on for decorating. Benjamin and Ada have been busy being little artists. They have been drawing on the chalkboard and painting (we don't have any dry erase markers so they don't use that board yet) with the finger paint set that Ada got from uncle Colin. They surprisingly have not made much of a mess! They both seem to enjoy painting (Benjamin loves doing art projects so doing just about any sort of project makes him happy). When they are both painting at the same time it gets to be quite the work out! They each want the brushes (we have 3) and to use the easel at the same time. We have it worked out that they rotate easel time, etc. For their paint palate we cut apart an egg carton that they use to put/hold their paint in. It works great! Now, if we could just find some nice painting paper we would be in business!!
