water play


Wednesday we went to the dollar store for sand pails in an attempt to curb the need to throw the gravel.

But it got kind of hot in the sun so...

On Thursday we went to the 99 cent store and bought paint brushes for "paint water".

On Friday morning when the temps began to climb we had our first try with the buckets and the brushes.



T had a lovely time painting lines on the pavement. Her favorite is spin around in a circle while painting and then view the resulting mark.



For 15 month old E throwing the water off the brush was his initial strategy but it wasn't long before he figured out a more effective way to get the water out of the bucket so he could move on to exploring other things.


This post dedicated to my mom for her wonderful paint with water strategy.
Just this morning before I was fully awake I caught myself thinking,
I need to call mom and talk to her today.
