Lilly Painting

You always know there is trouble, when it gets very quiet in the other room. The other day I was cleaning up after lunch and Finn got to watch the iPad for 5 minutes (which he does always before taking a nap) and usually Lilly is bothering him and things get crazy and loud.

But this time it was really quiet for a long time and I finally realized that there must be something wrong....
When I went to check on them Finn was watching the iPad and Lilly had decided that she was going to paint a little.

She got down the box of art supplies from the shelf.
She opened the big box and got the colors out of the smaller box inside.
She got paper plates (because thats how we do it) out and put paint on it.
She brought the paint over to the play section.
She got paper from the drawer and put it on the table and floor.
She could not find a brush, so she used her wooden cooking fork.
And she started to paint....

My smart little girl!
(And I of course had to take pictures first before I started cleaning up.)


Her "brush" did not work too well

She put the paint on the paperplate - smart

Art box on the floor with empty color box

Working hard
