Though I carry very little artistic talent, Arts and Crafts has always been a special interest to me. Art is an extremely important aspect of child development. It not only increases brain activity in toddlers, but it nurtures inventiveness. What better way to foster a child's development then by raising self-esteem through while something? And so, when making my Summer Sixty list, I knew I had to include some crafts now that Zach is older. We've done a few of these crafts already, but still had a few to cross off. And so, this afternoon when we got bored, it was straight to something creative... Face Painting!
I didn't have any face paint, and decided instead of buying some I'd make it myself. I mixed food coloring with some lotion to make it. We used Sweet pea (daddy's favorite) so we smelled good while we painted! Zach had a blast doing this. Every time I put lotion on in the house he begs me for some, so he was thrilled to get to play with lots of it! Let's just say we got a bit dirty in the process! But it was so much fun in the process!

 |
| OK- I'm dirty enough! |
