First time painting

Yesterday we invited Lilly and AJ over for painting. We plan to get together a few times a month to do art with the kids. The plan is to give them different mediums to work with and let them create. When I think about art for kids it always seems so "instructed". They are shown what to do and how to do it...all individual creativity is absent. I want to foster Scout's individual creativity and artistic abilities by providing opportunity only and not much, if any, direction.



As you can see she mostly painted her face!!! She tried using brushes and her fingers.
