Tag--you're it!

Amelia has been begging to paint daily for awhile now and I finally gave in on Friday.  I broke down and bought some new paint for her--paint that is washable AND not finger paint.  It was nice to see some vivid colors and I think she liked it too!

We started with just some free painting on heavy card stock. My original idea was to talk her into painting one page with just red and green and then cutting up her "abstract" art to make into gift tags.  But, when she picked up a "brush" that was actually a circular sponge on the end of a stick, I thought it might be cute to cut first and have her dot each piece.  

She like this and enjoyed mixing the red and green so that her dots contained both colors.  

Once they dried, I put "to" and "from" on each one and put them aside with our other wrapping supplies.  Should be a great addition on our gifts this year!
