Put together two things; paint and cars!
We had some left over paint so spread it onto a tray.
Using his favourite car he started with the lines on the tray.
Once he saw the paper he was excited to try there. We used quite a few pieces of paper.
This was one of those fun things we did last Summer that I just found on the camera. We did it at Grandma and Grandpa’s house where there was carpet under the table and a long walk to the sink.
(Yes, I was very nervous!)
Roll on the unstructured activities…… no aim in mind for this activity. He set his agenda and stopped.
Despite my fear all went well. Definitely going to be doing painting with cars again.

so much fun isn’t it!
He really got into it.
Glad you felt the fear and did it anyway!
It’s always easier in your own space but elsewhere raises the fear. We were determined to paint and Grandma wasn’t worried at all.
