Finger-painting is fun

I used to fret and stress myself with activities on how to entertain/amuse EJ.

But not anymore. What I do is let him guide me what kind of game he wants. Right now, he's into make-believe, monologue and the never-ending cars and trains!

But if he's bored with the above activities and I am also tired, I make his hands busy. It's educational, visually entertaining and fun. But what makes EJ likes this is because he has the license to get his hands all dirty.

Great!:)




So if you're mother of a hyper toddler and has run out of ideas how to make your child keep still but still entertained, try this.

It works well with my son. :)

ginger loves ballpens. aren't you worried EJ will start writing on walls? my little one scribbles on the wall na after i started teaching her how to write. sigh.

so far he hasn't tried writing on the walls. on the table, yes :) but i make sure he has no access to pens. he can only have a pen if i give it to him. that means i'm watching him :))

Finger painting is so fun. Thanks for sharing these fun photos. I'm sure EJ had a fantastic time dipping his fingers in paint and creating all sorts of shapes and patterns.

Rachel - Oh yes! He like to do this every two hours. Hahaha!

Kayni - Thank you but at first he doesn't want to wear it :)
