Messy Art

Mallory started a class through Tulsa Parks called Messy Art. We went for the first time yesterday, and she had a blast! The picture displays one of her creations. She got to paint, glue, cut, color, and draw. She was in heaven. She also made a Dalmatian dog puppet out of a paper bag and some cut outs. Painted a wooden star. Lastly, we traced her whole body on a big sheet of paper and she colored it. When we got home she laid it out upstairs in the hallway and said it was our new rug. So we have a "chalk drawing" of a child's body laying on our floor...lol.

I know some of you may be thinking, Kristin can do arts and crafts with her at home. Why pay for a class. I gotta tell you it was wonderful for me too. She could get as messy as she wanted. She could mess up the tables, brushes, herself etc... as much as she wanted and I didn't have to worry about it. I had no preparation. I had no clean up. I had no worries. So, for the time being I'm going to be lazy and let someone else come up with the crafts and do the clean-up!
