Lots 2 Learn in June…

IMG_7615WOW!  We have had a busy June…we made a fish before the beach; we made a lobster and other crafts at the beach, and we finished the month of June by making a cute little octopus!

        IMG_7617 IMG_7618

                                   Got to open the paint first…

IMG_7620

Pour it out…

IMG_7625 IMG_7627

Paint your hand with the brush or just make it easy and smear it around on the plate, but don’t get your thumb in the paint…

IMG_7628 IMG_7629

                                     Press it on the paper…

IMG_7631 Now for the other hand…Mommy will hold your thumb this time so it doesn’t get paint on it…

IMG_7633

Mallory’s cute little hands and 8 fingers make the octopus body and its 8 arms…

IMG_7634 IMG_7636

                                       Paint little eyes…

IMG_7640 IMG_7643

                A nose…                                     and a mouth…
