A Beautiful Mess

The face of a happy girl

Red Fish's string painting. She soaked yarn in finger paints and then splattered the strings on her paper.

New Fish's finger painting. She also used a sponge.

Red Fish's painting using scrapers, sponges, and a rubber ball.

We've been doing a lot of painting outside. Summer is good for messy art. We rolled balls through paint, used sponges, strings and scrapers and, of course, fingers. Then we play with the hose to clean up. It's great.
I thought New Fish was too little for sidewalk chalk but she found a few chunks of it sitting out and went absolutely crazy over it.
