Painting a Rainbow



Linus told me he wanted to paint a big rainbow and needed a big piece of paper. The largest we have on hand is leftover packing paper. He used his construction roller to try to roll out the wrinkles. The best part of the video for me is when he paints a parrot, including a nut for it to eat.

He loves making things with craft supplies. In the last few days he has made jungle snakes out of pipe cleaners and googly eyes. He also cut a piece of paper into quarters, glued them end to end, decorated it with big googly eyes and a pink feather. He said it was a snake for me. Yesterday he made Valentines. He made one for me and one for himself out of pink construction paper.

My goodness! He is getting so big. It's amazing to watch how he changes with time. What a creative project!

I love his little smock, too.

Junie loved watching this!! Her response: "Linus good painter!" And then, after hearing your voice a few times: "Mom of Linus nice." I said, "His mom is Aunt Stacey." She giggled, and said, "Oh. Aunt Stacey nice." I loved watching him paint his masterpiece!
