Many times we do projects with a specific end result in mind. I try to balance out our more structured activities with open ended ones as well. One morning this week I taped long pieces of paper onto our art table and had Eve choose whatever she wanted to do with it. Eve ended up choosing paint, a variety of paint rollers and brushes, a heart sponge stamp, a rubbing plate and her own two hands to leave her mark on the paper!

Love those little hands and fingers of Evey Pie!
What a great idea to spread out large sheets of paper and just 'go for it'! I love the ♥hearts♥.
Do this again. I'm imagining you doing it in the warmer months outside on your picnic table!
Please, tell Miss Eve that I love her choices!
Love, Maddy

My heart lifts every time I see these free expression activities that the children do. The freedom, the choices, the creativity, the pride in creating a colorful, diverse piece of art, love it all, and love, love, love the artists.
I am amazed how Eve easily approaches this task, doing more and more, trying different tools, always with a big smile and glee.
I want to give her a big love squeeze.
XOXOXO,
Memere
