Let the summertime art begin!!

Since it is officially summer (graduation was Friday--yay!), I decided that Logan and I will create some art over the summer.  I bought this great book during spring break, First Art: Art Experiences for Toddlers and Twos, and can't wait to use it.  I has so many fun things in it I think Logan will love.

Well, during spring break, I also bought some other art supplies.  And, I thought today was as good as any to try them out.  Of course I bought the traditional finger paint pots, but I also found these paints and thought they would be easy to work with. 

 

They come in little trays and I thought Logan can dip his fingers in and have at it.  

Logan was super excited when I tied on his red apron.  It was like he knew what was coming....
paper and paint.









Logan had a lot of fun.  He even had a taste of the gel paint--yum.  He had his finger in his mouth before I could stop him.  

All in all, I really like the gel paints for the ease of use and the "not-so-messy" media it is.  It also gave him more color choices than what is in the finger paints package.  I am excited to keep making art with Logan.  I hope he is excited too!
