QTip Art

Saying that Q is for Quack may not make a lot of sense up front. But if you are a fan of the LeapFrog Letter Factory DVD then it should make perfect sense since the movie uses ducks to discuss the sound of the letter Q. It also makes much more sense than it probably sounds. Anyway, I found a nice coloring page for Izzy to color using this theme. However, he wasn't too interested in coloring that day and only ended up making a couple of marks on his paper before moving on. Our qtip activity was meant to be a rather creative one, so the fact that Izzy wasn't in to his coloring page of the day made me rather apprehensive for what our activity would be like. However, our activity apparently had just the right combination of factors to peak his interest and it was the best I have ever seen him do with a creative activity up to this point. All I did was get six small containers of water, add a fairly generous amount of food coloring to each, and put a qtip in each container for him to paint with. I let him paint on a large piece of cardstock for durability purposes and he had at it. He also insisted on wearing his apron for this activity... silly kid. My favorite part though was when I told him that I was proud of him and he spent the next little while walking around the house saying, "Proud of you." I'm glad he knows that mama thinks he did an amazing job because he really did. And if my noncreative little boy loved this painting activity, then I'm sure any little kid would too.

AuthorHi! My name is Cassity and I am the mom to a little 2 year old boy named Izzy and a baby girl named Sydney. I am lucky enough to get to be a stay-at-home mom to them and we have fun thinking of new activities to do together in the afternoons. We created this blog as an opportunity to share those activities with you. Archives
