Our house is filled with crayons, coloring books and pieces of paper filled with random little scribbles.  Any time you sit down at the desk Maya is right there wanting up on your lap with pen in hand ready to color on every little piece of paper within reach.  Maya loves to color, just loves it.  It is by far her favorite thing to do.  No matter what kind of mood she is in, what else is going on, if you give her a box of crayons and some paper she is on cloud 9.  We may just have a budding little artist on our hands.

Knowing how much she loves coloring and creating things we try to encourage it and give her lots of outlets for her artistic ways.  The other day when it was unbearably cold outside and we were feeling very couped up we hit the store in search of something new and fun to do.  Knowing how much Maya loves coloring and all things crafty I hit the coloring aisle first.  One of the first things I spotted was a pack of  washable paints.  At first I was a little worried that the mess wouldn’t be worth the fun.  I mean the package did say washable, but really, completely washable?  I decided after some back and forth in my head to give it a shot.  Boy was it worth it.  These paints are completely washable and Maya loves her new artistic medium (thank you Crayola Washable Paints).

Her favorite part of breaking out the paints maybe that she gets to wear one of mommy’s old t-shirts  I think we will quickly run out of room on the fridge for her beautiful painted pictures
