Sponge Painting


Photo-A-Day #3590

I received a special package from PBS Kids about the Curious George Valentine’s Day show. We got some sponges and a DVD of the episode. We also received a cute Curious George book. Andrew loved reading the book with me because it has flaps that he can open and close. I’ll do a write up about the episode soon. Today we tried to make the special heart sponge that George makes in the episode but the sponge was wet and so I couldn’t tape it together so I tried to glue it and let it dry out. It still did not stick together properly. I may have to use a hot glue gun to do it next.

Painting with Andrew is an interesting thing. He’s still too little to understand cleaning brushes and after I placed small piles of each of the paint colors he immediately swirled them all together. It actually worked out pretty well for sponge painting. When the paint is all mixed up like Andrew made it he was able to make a bunch of cool sponge impressions. I am looking forward to making some Valentine’s cards with him soon, once I get that sponge heart made.

Zen moments can occur anytime. For me it was painting with water and sponge brushes on the driveway with Eva today. She was having so much fun just putting ‘paint’ on the ground.

She had so much fun. There are a bunch more photos in this album.
