So, I decided Father's Day was a perfect time to introduce MJ to the wonderful world of crafts. Handprint art seemed like a good way to start. After all, I had three extra mini canvases left over from decorating the nursery, which would be just right to make a gift for the Dads that were coming to our Father's Day barbecue.
After a trip to Michael's for some paint, some old towels gathered, and the baby stripped down to his diaper, we were ready to start!
Here we go!
MJ looks a bit unsure about this blue liquidy stuff.
Hmm, it's squishy!
Surprise, surprise - MJ wasn't too keen on holding still for a handprint. And, to make matters more complicated, the store clerk recommended the wrong paint. This runny finger paint stuff was too wet to hold a handprint on our canvas.
Ok, time for Plan B: Baby Modern Art!
This is much more fun!
All done!
MJ is messy, happy, and adorable. Mark this project down as a craft success. :)
