Yesterday my daughters, Leanna and Kristi, decided to make hand prints of their small children. The thought crossed my mind, "Why don't we try it out on a piece of paper first?" Of course, I did not voice that idea.
Gemma put her hand in the pink painted and curled her fingers in an effort to grab a handful. She did a very good job of spreading her fingers and putting her hand on the canvas. The problem was that she immediately closed her fingers and thumb tightly against each other. The result was a blob.
Turk and Tek were pretty much as successful as Gemma. Finally the two mothers gave the children the paint brushes that came with the kits. The result was lots of paint on the canvas and even more paint on the children. I hope that the paint washed out of Gemma's shirt.
When the children were fast asleep last night, Leanna traced their two hands onto the blue canvas. Surprisingly Tek's hand is almost as large as Turks. I think her art project shows lots of creativity on everyone's part.
That turned out very, very cute!
