We got the paints out yesterday, which we haven't done for a while and something we should do a lot more often as we had a lot of fun and it inspired some great creative thinking in the children. We started off with just the primary colours and white and they really enjoyed seeing all the interesting colours they could create. Keziah paints with lovely colours in abstract shapes and Reuben goes for detailed pictures with lots going on.
Reuben started this game after washing his hands. He found boats and filled them with 'people' then put 'fish' and 'squid' in the sea, which he and Keziah then fished out with wooden tongs. He initiated this all himself with no input from me (I was cleaning paintbrushes!), which seemed to come from having some creative time first.
