Future Picasso's?

These two play so well together and had a blast pudding painting! All the artistic stuff happened in the first few minutes. Then our little artists discovered that pudding paint tastes delish and the masterpieces came to a screeching halt.

Gymboree used to have a pudding painting session once a month but he wasn't quite old enough to fully appreciate all the fun of this activity. Plus they used chocolate pudding so not nearly as colorful. I used to love taking him to Gymboree Play and Music for classes. They have a Gymbaroo here in Australia so I may have to check it out.

Liesl got the idea to use vanilla instant pudding and add a few drops of food coloring to make things more interesting. Move over Martha! Here comes Liesl! She's such a creative inspiration for me. I'm so thankful for all her help adjusting to life in Australia. She introduced me to a great play group, book club, Rhyme Time at the library, swimming lessons, parks, beaches, and other fun activities for the kids. Don't know what I would have done without her! Alan is so lucky to have a play mate so close to his own age (2 days apart). We love spending time with them!
The partners in crime before all the fun began.
Alan is so excited he can hardly contain himself!
Time for some blue - sky or ocean maybe?
Watching Annabelle out of the corner of his eye. "I'll paint on you!"
How bout that - it tastes good too!
