A look at love. Vday recap

Enjoying his Valentine's day gift; a new set of clubs.

Our Valentine's Day couldn't have been better this year.  We made messes throughout the week as we painted Valentine's for our loved ones, then enjoyed going around town to deliver them to family.  (So blessed we live close.)  He enjoyed his Valentine's day gift that morning and met up with some of his buddy's for doughnuts.  We had a wonderful day together and this lucky girl spent her evening staring at my two favorites over some yummy sushi!!!  What more could you ask for?!

Melted Art

Last week we spent one bitterly cold day indoors painting.  He had black and blue paper as his backdrop and white paint only; as we painted a snowy scene to mimic the outdoors.  He used a paint brush, cottonball held by a clothespin, and his hands to create his artwork.

We let is dry and the next day added some decorations to create a melted snowman masterpiece.  

I cut out mittens, carrot nose, and black hats for him to glue onto his snowy scene.  It was a great activity for having him recognize, colors and follow directions.  "Can you pick up the Orange triangle and the red mitten?"  We also discovered that picking up pieces of paper that small can be a great way to challenge fine motor skills.   I then added glue while he held the pieces and he placed them on the paper.  

 

Later in the week he built his first snowman and then watched as the next day his painting came to life.  Melted snowman.
