Winter Activities

It has been so cold and we have been a bit sick around here, so I have had to be creative around the house. I made some play-dough and she really enjoyed it. I made a little nest and would roll balls that she would put in it, eggs. She would mush them down. She really enjoyed this activity. Today Chloe had some major grumpiness going on so I decided to introduce her to watercolor painting. I had a big sheet of watercolor paper and picked a few colors and let her experiment. She LOVED it SO much. The finished product is really beautiful and I plan on framing it. She loved holding the brushes and seeing what paint and water could do. She was content doing this for about 45 minutes. That is a LONG time for my little one. I love my little artist.
