Hands-On Learning

Well, it's cold outside now.  Time to start getting creative on ways to funnel 2 year old energy into productive things (preferably that burn off energy). 

Hope started out her finger painting career just dipping one finger in (barely) to one color and then smearing it for only seconds before wanting her hand wiped clean...then she progressed to the whole hand.  Now it's the whole body!  I've learned to finger paint just before bath time.  Can you believe it took me almost an entire year to figure that out?  I used to do it in the mornings or afternoon or really whenever the mood hit us.  Finger painting is just fun.  I highly recommend the crayola brand.  It cleans very easily and blends colors nicely.  I also recommend going ahead and buying the proper paper.  Really does make a difference.  I'm a Maglinger now.  I know these things.
