Messy Art!!!
I love "messy" art projects. I feel "messy" art gives Grace and Jack a sense of freedom, control and endless creativity. Today, Grace and Jack got to explore gravity when plops of paint landed on their toes, they had a great sensory experience by painting their hands and feet (and eventually their faces, legs and arms too!) and discovered color theory by sheer trial and error! This kind of joyful, messy, and limitless play allows children to grow and develop by integrating the whole child; mind, body, and spirit. Furthermore, the best part of "messy" outdoor art is that you can just wash it all away with a hose and sprinkler, which only adds to the fun!!!

Love this!
First of all, I must comment on the photos. I adore that smudge on Jack's hair and that 'Jack smile' is all too cute! Those plops and drips on Grace's arm are such a portrayal of her personality!
Rebecca, your tremendous understanding of your children provides them with such a nurturing environment. I couldn't be happier and delighted and enchanted that a third Grandchild will be able to share in all your inspirations!
I Love reading the stories of your life,
Mom
