While at HEB last week I found a bag-o-pumpkins with paint included and I thought that would be a perfect craft for Katelyn and Adelyn. So, after dinner last night we cleared the dishes, armed ourselves with pumpkins, paint, brushes, and paper towels. Jared was upstairs working on the computer so we had to wait patiently for him to finish. And by patiently I mean, Katelyn asked about every 20 seconds if it was time yet...
and Adelyn pretended to paint her face...
Jared finished his work and it was was time to get started. Katelyn was very meticulous about her paint. She is one craft-loving little lady so she enjoyed each second of it.
This was Adelyns first time with a paint brush and she was quite the pro! I fully intended to get the finger paint out for her, but after seeing her use the brush, there was no need for finger paint. As long as Jared or I refilled her brush with more paint, she was good to go!
I got Katelyn to look up from her pumpkin for .34 seconds- just enough time to catch the overwhelming joy she was going through as she painted. I think she could live at the table doing crafts, coloring, cutting, painting, cooking, etc.
Adelyn was actually way more into the painting than I had expected. I was thinking she would enjoy it for a few minutes and then lose interest. However, she also loved every second of it!
