Open-Ended Art: Blue & Silver

We almost forgot about Open-ended Art due to all the hustle and bustle of Sophie's Birthday throughout the week. In fact, we did this in the morning before we headed to Naenae's house for her birthday party. The theme this week for Open-ended Art is "Blue And Silver" at Mommies Little Artist. Do drop by to check out what other mummies do with their little ones.

I intend to let Sophie do her art and craft work at her work table from now on. It is a rather intimidating move as she can now mess up the whole room with her new found freedom. However, it is inevitable I feel. So, today we did the craft with glitter dust and glue. I mixed some blue fingerpaint to the white glue and she painted it onto a piece of A4 paper. I had to use an A4 paper so that it could fit into the tray. I was hoping to contain the glitter dust that way. I find it great to witness how Sophie learn to use the glitter dust. She could even tell me I had missed a spot!

And she was so eager to do it on her own that she got frustrated when I tried to guide her hand. She would deliberately move the glitter dust container away from my hand and when that failed, she passed it over from her left hand to her right. So cute!

After two practice attempts, Sophie was given the green light to do it on her own (almost). She painted the glue onto the paper and sprinkled on the glitter dust like there was no tomorrow!

Cleaning up was not too bad. I am glad Sophie could follow through without losing interest. Papa was around today and he got a glimpse of how his little girl do art and craft - unedited.
