Finger Painting

Yesterday afternoon, I offered two ideas for Sofia to pass some time in the afternoon since it's so hot outside - to play with Play Doh or to finger paint. She's been playing with her Play Doh set every day for the past few, so she decided on finger painting. I hadn't brought out the finger paints in awhile, so I was interested to see what she did with all that fun.

For the first few minutes, Sofia used her paint brushes and carefully dipped them into the colors and painted them onto her paper. However, after that the fingers got involved. Before I knew it she was spreading paint onto her arms (she liked watching how it went on) and "painting" with her hands on the paper. I had her do a few hand print pages as well as her mixed color masterpieces. She had a great time and after she was done, we just went in the pool for a little swim/rinse off.
