Little Picasso

One of Katie's favorite things to do is create art! She loves play doh, paiting, coloring, chalk...Sometimes the only way I can get her out of the car to go to school is to tell her they're working on an art project inside...Which isn't a lie - they're always coloring when I drop her off. I took the afternoon of her actual birthday off from work and we had a mother-daughter playdate at Tag It Art Studio.  One flat fee gets you an hour and a half of playing with all their fun art supplies and none of the hassle of clean up.

A child's paradise...A wall full of paper and paints and markers and stencils...The hardest part  is deciding what to do first!

We started out simple with plain paper and blue and purple paints. We drew some clouds and horses and pigs.

We moved on pretty quickly to stencils and her favorite color, orange! When the slightest bit of paint got her hand, she feared that she'd made a mess. I told her it was no big deal to get paint on her hands and the next thing I knew, she was literally painting her hands.

Who am I to put her creativity in a box. Paint away my dear child...Easy to say when it's not my kitchen table and I'm positive it's all water based washable paint.

After the painting of the hands, we headed back to the wall of supplies and picked out more stencils and lots of colored paper. We made about 20 mini-masterpieces while we where there and she's since given them away to people as gifts. Treasure those pieces people - those will be worth millions one day!
