I love that Nick and Gabby love to paint and draw and create. It makes me happy to share my love of art with them. They are both very creative and it's so fun to see how their little minds work.
The Farm Grandma and Grampa gave us an easel for Christmas and we've been having so much fun with it! Nick and Gabby LOVE to paint! We've also used the dry erase side of the easel for drawing and playing games like tic tac toe and hangman (Gabby's just beginning to READ a bit...she and I stay up sometimes after the boys have gone to bed and play hangman)
When they paint, the floors and tables become covered with drying paintings. We can hardly walk through the kitchen without stepping on a work of art!
Since Chad and I moved our room downstairs, we've been slowly transforming the upstairs into a fun kid area. Nick and Gabby's drawings are quickly filling up the walls!
Chad and I even lugged my old work table up the stairs for the kids (whew! that was HEAVY!) They spend hours at the table, drawing and cutting and gluing (and Mommy spends quite a bit of time there too!) They love their new letter chart above the table.
We just added chalkboards to the walls too. I made them out of Nick and Gabby's old cribs! I'm going to make a magnet board too.
We still have to make curtains, touch up the green paint, re-paint the floors (that's going to take a weekend with the kids at the farm I think!!) I'll keep sharing photos as we get more accomplished!
