This bank holiday weekend Evan, Daddy & I decided to do some messy play! We're not really fans of mess in our house, something we all need to get out of our system. Nevertheless, we were brave & we decided to let it all go & let Evan explore. Whilst he was napping, we covered the kitchen floor in lining paper & stuck it down using masking tape. We set up the area with 4 different paper plates with red, blue, green & yellow paint, & put out a variety of brushes, rollers & sponges ......... we waited, ...... we waited some more & finally Evan woke up!
At first he was a little confused as to what we'd laid out for him, but he soon got into it & declared "Evan do it, painting". We had loads of fun playing with the paint, feeling it on our hands & feet & covering the area. I didn't even care that Evan was covered head to toe in paint! He literally squealed with delight & started singing as he painted! This was a great activity for Evan, he enjoyed the feel of the paint & watching mummy paint different pictures. He explored the colours & was able to tell us what colour he was using at any given time.
This kept him occupied for a whole hour, which is a long time in Evans world & once he'd had enough he said "wash hands now please" - maybe he's not a fan of mess either?
