So, rather than take away the joy of fingerpainting, I had the bright idea to bring the fingerpaints outside. (I know, I know, other people have discovered this ages ago, but I'm kind of slow on the uptake.) I was thinking that this would be a fun, safe activity, because the paint is washable, right? And Buttercup surely would only paint the object I gave her, right?
Here we have Buttercup happily smearing paint on her hands, then making handprints on the box I gave her to paint.
What you don't see is her running away the second my back was turned, and putting paint-handprints on the patio, the house's foundation, and the playset. (And her brother, but thankfully he was so intent on his painting that he didn't notice.)
Hmm. Maybe next time I should bring her booster chair outside and strap her in so she can't run away. :-)
