I admit I was too lazy to create a “tiger” for today’s letter “T”. Also, it might end up looking like a cat or a lioness with stripes. I wanted something simple like a “turtle” but Sophie already knows what a turtle is so we ended up with a “tortoise”.
I gave Sophie the whole bottle of green paint because there was too little left to scoop out on a palette. Besides, I thought she would be more willing to work if she found it “fun” and less restrictive.
We tried using Sophie's old milk bottle brush to paint the letter, however, it did not work as well as I had hoped. Perhaps I should have showed her how to use it before giving it to her. Well, the end product still looked decent enough.
As usual, the fun part came towards the end. Sophie managed to create some markings on the table using the brush. To my surprise, she started singing "Rain, Rain, Go Away" (not the whole song). I have always loved her imagination... She never fails to amaze me with how she assocate cvertain abstract form with reality. Too bad she became all coy when I wanted to take a video clip of her.
Overall, I am quite happy with the end product. And Sophie was able to remember it as a "tortoise" so there is good.
