Fun May 18 by Heather

Jana, you watched the other children with real

interest and wanted to try painting yourself.
I put an apron on you and sat you in the
highchair (the highchair was used so the painting
was only for one specific child and they wouldn’t
get paint on their clothes. To start with you just
painted the table very carefully making sure your
hands stayed clean. After a short time you
decided it would be fun to paint your hand. It
appeared that you really liked the feel of the
plain on your hand. You are learning about
different textures and how they feel on your skin.
You are also learning how to hold a paintbrush
correctly which is a start to early writing skills. We
had a hard time telling you that it was time to finish.
The next day we did some painting again and you were
the first to want to repeat this experience. It is
wonderful seeing you so happy.
We will keep offering you the opportunity to
experience different textures and types of play to
keep you fascinated with learning.
