Pay it Forward/stART

stArt

Selena received a wonderful package from Vanessa and Juliet at Silly Eagle Books, through a Pay it Forward that she hosted. The rules of Pay it Forward, is that I do just that Pay it Forward to three people who agree to the terms and post a comment letting me know they would like to receive a surprise package from us. They sent some Sesame Street Finger Paint Bubble Bath and a book titled Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh.

Selena loved both, the book and the paint. Thank you Vanessa & Juliet!  The book is about three white mice who discover red, yellow, and blue paint. Through their adventures they discover the different colors that can be made through blending.

Since Selena has never had a bubble bath yet, we felt we needed to make sure she didn’t have a skin reaction to the soap. After reading the book, I set it up for her to finger paint with. She enjoyed finger painting, and then really went wild about blending the colors to see what colors she could make.

Next time we will do the bubble bath, and let her have fun painting herself and our bathtub. We probably won’t post any pictures of that, sorry.

Now for the fun! The rules for the Pay it Forward, is that I promise to do just that, Pay it Forward to the first 3 people who leave me a comment letting me know they would like to participate.

PLEASE IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PAY IT FORWARD, TELL ME IN YOUR COMMENT AND LEAVE YOUR EMAIL IF YOU HAVE IT DISABLED.

Selena and I would love to send three readers a surprise package.

  4. I love her artwork! What a great idea to do finger painting with it first! We have only used it in the bath.

  6. Okay, and the comment about bubble bath paint makes so much more sense now. I love this book too, it's one of my favorite books. It's got mice and paint, what's not to like?
