Well the weather was gorgeous today and so I took the opportunity to take Archie outside to do some water painting. This game is brilliant for summer days and is mess free (well paint free at least, the kiddies and you might get a little wet but it dries quickly). We took a bowl of water, paintbrushes, a roller and finally some sponge numbers outside. Archie loved this activity and we had fun together sponging the floor and drawing lines. He commanded me to draw some smiley faces to! Then I suggested to paint some stones with the water too which he thought was even better. So we moved on to lining up stones and painting them. We then decided to paint the fence opposite the house which Archie thought was very funny. Well why not it's only water!
The sponge numbers and shapes came from the Range. They are perfect for stamping with paints as well, we have got through a lot of these sponge numbers. I also have shapes and letters. Archie likes to play with them in the bath too... Oh and to pour on each others head and have them explode out my tummy!
Archie and I had our first official water fight with the paint brushes, flicking water at each other. It makes me think now Archie is ready for water pistols and water bombs : ) Peter is going to be very happy with this news. It was such a lovely morning, I really recommend getting outside, forget the messy paints and try out painting with water!
We ended the game with a well deserved my homemade ice-lolly. The ice-lolly is 100% fruit and is made from puree'd apple, orange and pear. Its free of additives, artificial colour and counts as one of his 5 a day (I sound like an advert ha ha!). A delicious healthy treat for the summer. Archie is quite obsessed with them at the moment.
