As I was walking around Target today (just once today...be proud!), I was thinking about some new activities to try with Kaydence. Dave and I both aggreed that fingerpainting might be fun. We looked through all of the art supplies, and remembered that Crayola had a set where the colors of the fingerpaint only show up on special paper. For all intents and purposes, the "paint" is clear, but when the child touches the paper, the designated color shows up! We snatched that up, and some big crayons.
All in all, it went pretty well. At first she was more interested in digging her fingers into the paints and getting huge globs, but eventually she got interested in smearing it on the paper and seeing the color come up. We probably did it for 20 minutes or so, which I figure is pretty good to keep a 14-month-old on task. I would DEFINITELY recommend this set to other parents with toddlers who want to explore their child's creative side with them, but don't want to spend the better part of the afternoon cleaning up the aftermath! :-)
