Birds of a Feather

Wow, anyone else tired?! I truly hope everyone gets some good rest in over the weekend because these kids played hard this week! And with the upcoming warmer weather we will only continue to play outside and get in some good exercise. 

Before we began our hard play outside today, the kids took some time to slow down and focus on some painting. We weren't going to use regular paint brushes though, that simply would not do. The other day L mentioned that it would be cool to use feathers to paint and we thought that was a great idea. We loaded up the paint trays, found lots of different feathers and got to work. 

It turned out to be quite an experience as the paint didn't spread very well with the delicate feathers. Maybe it was too thick? Maybe we needed different feathers? Either way, the kids enjoyed using a different utensil to paint with and liked the fact that if we let the feathers dry out with paint they might "transform into a new color!" 

It's always fun to try a new ways of painting. It truly brings out a very creative side to our kids. Have a great weekend!
