Fingerpaint!

Today we made fingerpaint out of cornstarch, sugar, water, and food coloring.

Ryan painted pictures of characters fighting with light sabers.

Katie created an outdoor scene with a flower.

And Josephine just enjoyed the feel of the fingerpaint and watching the colors mix on the paper . . .

. . . as did Ria. Ria loved fingerpainting, and her art extended up her arms, onto her face, and all over her shirt. I took care of her big brother Iain when he was her age, and he would have nothing to do with the "finger" aspect of fingerpaint. He would only use it if I would give him a paintbrush or a popsicle stick.

Later on Katie gave Josephine lessons in cursive handwriting.
