The Reluctant Artist

Alex has become quite interested in writing and making his own marks on paper with a pen, so I decided that it was time to try out some finger paints. I think he was a bit turned off by the texture and the fact that the paint stayed on his hands, but he was a good sport and gave it the old college try. The session lasted all of 5 minutes, and the resulting artwork ended up being a collaboration with mama. But hey- we have our first masterpiece for the fridge. Hooray! We are working on a chalkboard wall for his room right now, so hopefully he'll enjoy experimenting with chalk.
