Fingerpainting Frenzy!

The girls started off painting their Earths so neatly with paintbrushes.

I decided to paint with the 3 girls today.  Amy (twins' Mom) and Matt both told me I was crazy!  I knew it would be kinda crazy, but was hoping for good crazy!  It was.  We discussed the "rules of painting" before we began.  They could only paint on their paper... no painting on their body, table, or chairs!  I was amazed by how good they were!  They quietly painted their Earth pictures to celebrate Earth Day.  I even gave them a little mini-lesson on the Earth being green and blue. :-)

After they did their Earth Day pictures, I let them fingerpaint!  They were SO excited!  They picked out their own "Easter" colors and away they went.  They couldn't stop giggling as they stuck their little hands into the cold paint!  I loved seeing them tell each other what they felt and what colors they saw on their hands.  It was priceless!

Then.... I told them they could use their hands!  OH BOY!  The girls couldn't stop giggling! 

The end products!  Not too shabby!
