My little monkeys each received a Paint-your-own Soccer Ball for Christmas. So I decided that, with the impending rain/sleet this afternoon and the graying skies overhead, this would be a perfect day to don their big t-shirt art smocks, cover my classroom in newspaper and let then Have At It.
To be honest, they haven't even been this quiet while sleeping for months.
This gives me a few moments just to watch their creativity flow, to allow it to flow with absolute minimal assistance (Mommy, more water please; Mommy, can you make more purple for me please?), release my control and allow them to just have fun.
Kind of makes me want a soccer ball to paint, too!

It sounds like they had a ball! Ha!
ResponderEliminarHell, why just paint a ball, when you can paint a wall?
ResponderEliminarJust let them cut loose and have at it on one wall in the house.. There isn't anything they could do that couldn't be undone with a few coats of KILZ when you need to return the wall to normal..
Or find a area and paint it with "chalkboard paint" ( you can find it at commercial paint stores.) then have at it with them!
Z: Sure did. K didn't finish yet, so we'll revisit the project later.
ResponderEliminarWindrider: YIKES! That totally attacks the control freak in me!!!!! Maybe...later...maybe...one day...yikes! Must---have---wine...
(gasp!)
Oh I love Windrider's idea. :)
ResponderEliminarGULP.
ResponderEliminarYou two are totally ganging up on me. I'll work on my control issues in the coming year.
Promise.
In the meantime, anyone want a soccer ball?
