That's my motto. The more fun I have the bigger mess I make.
My grandson, David, loves to do arts and crafts and his mother (my brilliant daughter) is very good at finding things he can do and enjoy. They've painted Christmas ornaments, flower pots and done all kinds of things. The other day David who is 2 1/2 (will be 3 in September) did some finger painting. His mom bought a canvas and then put some letter stickers over it that read "If it's not messy it's not fun". Then she gave him some acrylic paints and let him go at it. He had a blast and was quite happy with his creation which is proudly displayed in his playroom.
And here is the little artist proudly showing his creation:
He mostly crafts in the near nude....any mom of a toddler (or anyone who has had a toddler) will know that makes a lot of sense!
I am entering this for him in the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge Anything Goes and the
Simon Says....Children's Summer Holiday Challenge.
Happy Crafting!
