My sweet little kiddos aren’t so little anymore. In fact, the oldest can start driving in February! Even though they may be older, it doesn’t mean they are too old for fun and messy crafts like finger painting. It just means that they are old enough to clean themselves up. I definitely don’t miss bath time with four little kids.

The vinyl snowflakes were used as giant stickers, so when it is removed the canvas underneath will remain white while everywhere else is covered in paint. Here are the canvases completely painted while they are waiting to dry.

I love how proud they each were of their masterpieces. It did remind me of doing similar activities with them when they were only toddlers. We need to do this more often!

The handpainted masterpieces were hung by our Christmas Tree for all to see. They can now be brought out every year with the decorations and we’ll remember the time we had fun painting with our fingers.
