Painting and the worst fake tan ever

Today after the real work was done it was playtime so we painted. We tried using a paintbrush for the first time, rather than fingers, hands, feet and face.

It started well

and I'm sure she'll soon master the concept of a 'thin, even coat'



but fingerpaint was demanded and chaos ensued




culminating with what might be the worst fake tan job ever. Yes, she carefully painted both her legs yellow. Still, if they are looking for extras for The Simpsons we're ready.

  3. That was exactly what I was thinking about ... cleaning the mess... our daughter has still at age four quite short attention span, and it's amazing how much mess kids are able to do in those 10-15 minutes they have the patience to paint!!!

  5. You have the patience of a Saint Laura. So many would have been more controlling. Hope the bath wasn't too much of a pig to clean.

    Do you give her non-toxic colour?

    1. Yes, definitely, it's a fingerpaint suitable for children 18 months+.

  11. A very creative girl. I hope she will be like this for a very long time (so innocent, not painted yellow ;)). She made my day!

  12. This made me laugh out loud! Perhaps she need painting pants as well as smock? I like the yellow legs being painted by a lime green hand. I also liked her nubby rolling pin. I see a trip to the children's section of the craft store is in order. Thanks for the giggle.
