I forgot to show you...



...Alice's first abstract painting that she made for Dan's birthday back in April!

A mom from our little Hot Mama Club posted on our Facebook page (yes, we have a Facebook page...with 44 members!) an awesome link to create an easy abstract painting with your baby. Most importantly, it is 100% mess free because all the artistic magic happens in a plastic bag.

To give Alice's painting a more professional look (ah ah ah), I used a cheap canvas from the dollar store instead of a regular piece of paper. To complete the look, I got a simple black frame (also from the dollar store) and voilà!!!

Dan was pretty impressed :)

Oh man I love this! I tried doing the mess free painting with Gaius and he just looked at me like i was an idiot and ignored me and the art supplies all together.

What kind of paint did you use?
This looks great.
Merci!

Adorable!

A book if you're looking for lots of great art ideas for littles: First Art for Toddlers and Twos by MaryAnn Kohl. I'm a crafty sort, but wasn't sure how to get my son involved at first. The book gave me some great starter ideas to build on.

Beautiful. Wish I had thought of the canvas idea. Looks great--and Father's Day approaches!
