getting creative.





We have an old box that is filled with paints and brushes and all sorts of stuff.
Sometimes when Wyatt and I get bored, we get it out and create something together.
I genuinely believe that if Wyatt could paint all day - every day, he would.
He lights up when he paints.
He claps + cheers and just loves it!
We always have at least a few canvases in our craft closet.
We wait until Michael's or Joann's has them on sale - and then we stock up.

It's my favorite thing to do with Wyatt (besides snuggling).
I love doing activities with him - things that allow him to express himself + build confidence.

Do you paint with your little one?
Please share!
