In reply to Ashleigh Nicole. I love painting with my little girl too! I waited because I'm a total art and craft supply snob. I get a little OCD about all my supplies and I didn't want to her to deal with mommy freaking out about her innocently exploring with them. Once I finally gave her a paintbrush she handled it with as much care as she saw me doing. They really do model what they see. I heaved a huge sigh of relief and never looked back. Today she is my creative companion. :)

In reply to Jennifer Tammy. I agree, artistic practices such as these are so important for the child. They really need the opportunity to experience and create without anyone telling them that it needs to be a certain way.

It’s been a while since we’ve done this, I think we’ll have to revisit again soon 🙂
I am no longer a fan of Waldorf, but I think some of the artistic practices such as this are beautiful and can be used in many different approaches! I wish we saw more trusting of children with real artistic mediums and techniques, like Waldorf handiwork and art classes allow.

I love painting with my little girl! She is now at the age where I can sit next to her and paint my own little canvas. Although hers always turns out better than mine <3
