So it seems all my best and messiest projects begin with a muffin tin full of paints. We were generously given some amazing homeschool activities from a recent friend (whom I'd like to adopt as my honorary grammy for lots more reasons) and I decided to try the painting letters one. It was our Science/Reading day, so this tied in nicely.
I got out my never-ending stack of paper plates and some masking tape. I drew the letters on the plates and showed the fairies how to cover them with tape. I cut up some old sponges for the smearing/stamping/free-for-all and let them have at it.
All three had a fantastic time smooshing the sponges in the paint, but Secunda was TRANSFIXED. She's very sensory without the (occasionally) concomitant behaviour issues.
So we spent the morning stamping away... And had a great time. Plus LEARNING. Thanks, faeries!
