hands on : as we grow: 2011-05-29

Creating Art while sitting just doesn't do it in this house.

To get Henry the most involved [and happy while doing it],
I come up with ways to make art that gets him moving as well.

The best way to do this?

Make the art big!

The It's Playtime posts that catch my eye the most are the ones with Big Art!

More specifically, Big Art that uses body movement.

Inspired by Quirky Momma's fizzing sidewalk paint,

I made some of our own sidewalk paint and Henry and I painted the driveway.

[Don't miss the homemade sidwalk paint recipe at the end of the post.]

Any baby [or even preschooler] has a tendency to knock over any tower you build.

George jumped right at the opportunity!

Brotherly love,

coloring and goofiness!

George got to join in on an outdoor activity with Henry and me.

He dove right into the fun!
