...making "Christmas trees"...
...and painting for the first time.
Things I learned:
- Encouraging your impressionable two year old to put the m&m's on the "trees" instead of her mouth does not work.
- Encouraging your two year old to put sprinkles on the "trees" also does not distract her from said m&m's.
- Sprinkles are messy. Very very messy.
- Sugar cones are remarkably good when covered in chocolate and sprinkles.
- Paint that is marketed for children is not always washable. Even if it really really should be.
- My daughter is starting to get an attitude (hence the lack of smiles for the camera while painting).
- I have a bit of OCD ("Wash your brush before you put it in a new color!!" - lasted all of two seconds).
- Ava really really likes to put her hands into slimy substances.
- Painting does not discourage remembrances of m&m's from previous days activities.

Great photos.
p.s. There is a reason parents send children to preschool for their art experiences.
Haha, what a fun idea! My kids would love doing this! She is so cute, can't wait to meet her! :)
