Sophie enjoys painting (regardless where or what she paints). I was glad that we managed to establish some sort of SOP for painting. When we forgot the apron, she was willing to stop a moment to put it on before continuing. Sometimes, I love to see her pause to think before asking my question.
In any case, today we made a pink pig puppet with paper plates. Sophie is slowly developing a liking for pink (girls will be girls) so she was very excited. In fact, she finished painting the paper plates very quickly so that she could paint on herself! Normally, I would frown upon that and try very hard to steer her attention away from creating a mess. However, I let her have her way because she actually said it was “fun” and she liked it.
I could have just made a simple puppet but I got a little too adventurous and decided to do a bit of collage on the pig. It was not very appealing but fortunately, Sophie did not seem to mind much.
What is the point of making a puppet unless you can play with it? Sophie loves playing with her pig puppet. Usually, I had to interpret her behaviour or make guesses when her feelings or preferences are concerned. But she actually said she liked it when I asked her so I was very thrilled.
Ok, so the end product looks a little scary (even to me). However, Sophie wass not put off in any way so I am happy too.
