Table Time

Last year, I discovered a little gem of a place that is an art studio that offers toddler & preschool open art time on weekday mornings. We have not been since last spring, but I boldly decided to venture there last week with both kids. Yes, I realize I was outnumbered 2-to-1, and yes, I realize there was alot of messiness they could get into, but it was worth the risk.

Let me start by saying that Jackson loves arts & crafts. He had the best time using glue & glitter (both of which I use very sparingly in our at-home crafts), stamping with paint and pretty much engaging in all the activities that were offered. 3 1/2 is the perfect age for this type of thing.






Mischief, I mean Weston, on the other hand, had more fun running around trying to flush the potty, eat paint and generally cause destruction. That little rascal's face says it all!!









He was IN.TO.EVERYTHING. Thankfully, the sweet ladies who own the studio are super okay with inquisitive, destructive, messy toddlers and did not mind at all that he was a tornado that I was not really managing all to well.

I did let him experiment with painting, which he preferred to taste rather than create with. At the station where we blew bubbles in the paint, he slurped up the red paint then immediately pulled over the bowl of paint. Then rubbed his red hands on his head, my shirt and anything else within reach. Needless to say, we all got baths the minute we got home.




We all 3 had fun creating/eating art together but this was an excellent reminder as to why I stick to crayons, glue sticks and stickers inside at home :)
