Preschooler Painting

a couple of months ago, i let will paint the background of this canvas with yellow and blue paint to make green! (he is using cheapo tempera paint). a few days ago, i let him have some red paint (his favorite color). i did not tell him what to paint. this is what he did - a self portrait! of two wills, he says.

he painted legs first. then he painted hair. then the body. then the arms. he painted the figure on the left first.

preschooler painting tip - let them paint in their underwear - to prevent staining clothes! (it also keeps them a little cooler when it is 95 degrees outside!!)

painting makes me so happy. watching will paint fills me up!

beautiful!
