Life Cycle of an Art Project

First, while the kids change into their art shirts, I lay out all the materials in the kitchen, taping down the paper (in this case old grocery bags) and pouring paint.

 Then I step back and watch the kids do what they do so well.

 Soon enough they get the hang of it.

 Then they decide to change up the project to suit their little curious minds.

 As they finish up, their concentration never waivers.

Then it's time to clean the kids.  (This was a "balloon bath," just because it sounded like a fun idea.)

 After the projects are dried it's time to clean the kitchen.  (Relatively easy considering how tidy the kids are.)
