Happy Canada Day!  Today I tried making paint for the first time, I found the recipe on Pinterest which lead me to EasiePeasie.  I then found the idea for the handprint flag on Pinterest as well.

I helped Ethan to paint the sides (I painted most of it really, but held his hand with the brush to do a bit) and then painted his hand and printed it in the middle.  Of course then we had some extra paper to do some messy finger painting.  It was so much fun for Ethan's first painting experience, all part of his Creative Development.  He was very intrigued by this interesting substance and of course wanted to give it a lick, so I am glad that I used homemade paint (but did discourage him from eating it!)
