Art, Art and more Art

McKenna absolutely loves to do what she calls "art work" To her this is anything to do with paint, glue, glitter, scissors, markers or anything related. The supplies I ordered from discount school supply came last week and McKenna has been having lots of fun. From glue collages, glitter, puffy paint, spray paint, water colors McKenna has been busy "creating." Here are some pictures from our puffy paint we made yesterday and the water color spray painting we did today. She also loves to use the fuzzy pom pom balls to "cook" with in her kitchen. I have eaten my share of them lately! The water color activity turned in to a mixing colors activity, which got all over, good thing they are washable!


Her big cheese face. She always wants to say "cheese" and then see her picture in the camera, but when I say "say cheese" this isn't exactly what I have in mind :)






Figuring out the spray bottles.




Puffy paints
Equal parts water, flour, salt and water with water color added for color. Adjust for thickness if needed and put in squeeze bottles. Squeeze out on a thick surgace such as cardboard. She LOVES squeezing out the paint.





She would rather be without clothes than wear her smock!











Nenna helping mix the paints.


She chose the colors: green, pink and purple


Playing in the box that the supplies came in. She loves her "cutters" as she calls them. I had to order some no cut hair scissors that are just plastic, but will cut paper. She loves to cut everything and I am a little afraid of what she might do with scissors!


She asked me over and over what the packing peanuts were called and why, why and more whys for every answer I gave. Which is pretty typical of EVERY day! Sometimes I want to stick my fingers in my ears like she does when we are in a bathroom and she doesn't want to hear the toilet flush or when Carter's crying.
