Erin and Orren got some fingerpaint for Christmas. I figured it would be a huge hit. What kid doesn't like to fingerpaint, right? I offered the stuff to Orren one day while Erin was at school. He wanted nothing to do with it. He didn't like to paint with his fingers, and the stuff was too thick to have much control of it with his brushes. He's a watercolor guy, plain and simple.
So, with four mostly unused tubes of fingerpaint on my shelf, I thought of an ingenious proposal this morning. "Hey, do you guys want to fingerpaint on the patio?" Oh yes, that was the right answer!! Basically, the lesson in this is that if your kid doesn't like to fingerpaint, don't dispair. They probably just don't like to fingerpaint
on paper.
