We've been having a pretty mellow fun time on our Mid Winter break this year, not just cause we've got a cold, but also cause with the closing of the house at the end of next week, things are going to get wild again, all too soon. So, after reading copious amounts of blogs last night, we did this little activity during quiet time:
Painting with scented paints:
I added flavorings and spices while Q wasn't looking and had him guess what they were. I did tell him his choices, but he got them all right stuffy nose and all! After painting, he moved onto the roller, then finger and hand painting, then ya know, cause he just had to be wacky, chin painting:
That was about when we switched over to "playing" wash the dishes with the sprayer and lots of soap.
Then he did his first actual embroidery:
He'd picked out the thread and wide needles at Joanne's this morn, where we'd also picked up the above finger paints. He said his project was a little hat for Hazel's baby, but then afterwards ended up gluing it to a piece of thick paper and securing it in an envelope to give to Papa. He's still in Valentine giving mode, and is often writing little notes and using the stapler and glue to get them all packaged up in envelopes for his friends and family. I guess my job would be to make sure they make it to the mailbox for real!
