Sevea got some finger paints from her Grandma and Grandpa Appeldorn for Christmas. The other weekend we got them out and tested to see how well she would do with them. The box said she was a little too young for them but we figured those ages are normally off anyway. Well she might be more ready for the finger paint at age 3. She did well once we didn't give her full access to the paint. She started out just dipping and dipping and dipping into the paint. This was the problem since then she had wayyyyyy more paint than she needed. So the paint went bye-bye and she did well with just playing with the paint. We'll remember this next time and just give her a good amount of paint she can play with and not full access :)
Maybe try using shaving cream to play with first. It's easier to clean up and she can just smear it around and enjoy using her sense of touch. Then once she's used to the feel of it, move on to the paint. Looks fun - I want to play!!!
