Cheap Thrills

More toddler painting! We found this kit at the Dollar Tree. If you didn't already know I have a strange love for hippos. In the future, it's completely possible that my family and friends will stage an intervention because my house is overflowing with hippo things.

Bub was excited to paint his hippo and I loved watching him paint. The hippo came with paints and a brush. It took me a good 5 minutes to open all of the colors though. I thought for a moment that they were glued shut!

I think Daven did a pretty good job. (Full disclosure - I'm biased) It's now sitting right next to his hippo bank on our hutch.

Does he have hippo stuffed animals? Bath toys? Yes he does. And no, we don't have a problem!

Painting pots with the tot

Rainy day, go away. Unless Daven decides to nap, that is. Then the rain can stick around.

We got a bit messy this afternoon when I got out the craft box. Daven immediately found the hot glue gun and started "shooting" me with it. But he quickly put it down when I asked if he wanted to paint.

Most of my acrylic paints are over three years old and a bit gloopy. But that just made it look more fun. At least that's what I'm going with.

We painted together which was a nice few moments together :)

Now, what should we plant in our tiny pots?
