Today we attempted finger painting, yet again. This time..... Success! Usually Brinleigh bursts into tears when I dip her fingers into the paint and will freak out until I wipe her hands off. Today I sat her at the kitchen table and as soon as I tore out a sheet of the finger painting paper and placed it in front of her, she immediately started to lose her shit. I managed to calm her down fairly quickly and we started with one finger at a time. After some funny noises, clapping hands and lots of praise, we were able to move from one finger to an entire hand. She painted an entire sheet of paper and then decided she was over it. Still, we were happy with the progress made today.
We used these Crayola Washable Fingerpaints and this Crayola Fingerpaint Paper that we bought for Brinleigh as a Christmas gift. These finger paints were amazing! I put a t-shirt over Brinleigh's outfit and surprisingly she didn't get any paint on it. However, she was wearing an outfit that had a tutu attached to her pants and as we were washing her hands off, she got some paint on the tutu. We sat her on the counter and were able to quickly rub the paint out of the tutu with a wash cloth. It also washed off our hands easily and wiped off the table with no problem. The Crayola paper wasn't bad I would prefer to have sometime a little thicker.
