budding artist

yet again, 

i get caught up in stressing out about finding a really cool project to do

when really all the kids want to do is 

anything that involves 

painting

cutting

gluing

coloring

making a mess

so today 

it was paper plates

paint

and paint brushes

these kids are creative and just went to town 

painting a million 30 paper plates.

they had fun

they used some great language

mixed up some great colors

and created some amazing things

i sometimes need a reminder that the things we do are for the kids

not me, the parents, or the blog...THE KIDS!

can you find the plate that was named

"a pink snowman in a purple blizzard"

i tell ya these kids are talented, creative, and smart!
