The book we chose for our STart project this week was - Whose Toes Are Those by Jabari Asim
The book itself is not that great... One of my least favorites but Lucas enjoys it for the bright picture so we do read it quite often. The art project we did to go along with this book is painting with our feet!
I had originally planned to do this outside but its been raining here everyday this week. So I set this up in our bathroom instead that way I could just throw him in the tub when he was done : )
First he painted for a bit with his hands....
Then I showed him to put his feet in
He loved squishing the paint between his toes
He had a BLAST!!

ReplyDelete"He had a BLAST!!!" --- You can certainly tell!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! You are a brave mama! He didn't walk on the floors at all?
ReplyDeleteMy son hates to get himself all messy. He didn't like painting with pudding this week. I'm not sure what he would do with this activity! Looks like your little guy had a good time.
ReplyDeleteTo my surprise he actually did stay on the paper, up until I began to run the water for his bath then he ran straight for the tub!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun activity. I had planned on doing the same thing this week, but couldn't because Little Sweets has a cast on her leg. She is getting it off Friday, so we might do the activity next week. : )
ReplyDeleteIt's so interesting how some kids really relish the chance to get messy whilst others recoil from it. It's lovely to see how much fun your son had! I'm curious as to why you dislike the book - I don't know the book at all, but I'm always interested in hearing why a book is or isn't a big hit.
ReplyDeleteSmart momma! I love that you did the project right next to the tub :) I am waiting till the weather gets nicer and then my kids will FINALLY get to paint. I just cant let them inside. It really looks like he had fun!!
ReplyDeleteOh my that last picture....... I love it. I bet he went straight in the tub.
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo cute! Love messy and fun art like this!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that last pic! How adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou are so smart! I never would have thought to do this in the bathroom! Looks like he had a great time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project to go with this book, he definitely enjoyed himself and created some pretty awesome art too!
