Paper, Paint & Vehicles

[After two other failed crafty attempts today]

Henry created this piece of art:

While I was getting supper on the table,

I handed him a piece of 12x12 scrapbook paper.

Color of his choice:

Green.

Poured some washable paint in a container.

And gave him his green paintbrush.

[A couple of months ago, Henry and I bought this basting brush together, 

I told him it would be for him to paint with. 

He has been so excited to use it, and talked about it for a long time. 

I completely forgot about it until today. His excitement returned!]

I set out a couple of vehicles for Henry to drive through the paint.

[note: I only set out a couple, notice the amount Henry added himself]

The poor backhoe had more than a day's work.

Henry [or Big Grandpa, according to Henry] was digging trenches in the paint.

[notice where the paper ends]

I kind of like the art that was made on the vehicles.

It was entertaining and messy.

I got supper on the table.

Henry created this piece of art.

I think it will go in the frame.

This piece of art was also made on the play table. 

[Thank you Crayola for washable paints.]

All the vehicles ended up in the bath tonight.

[Lots of posts have given me the idea to have little boys use their vehicles with paint and make tracks.

Most recently, I saw it at cows go moo and ducks go quack.]

[Linking up to some of these parties.]
