the boys helped me paint a canvas tote to give to Nana for Mother's Day. they loved making it, and it was fun to do with them. Leo was so cute while we were making the flowers, too. after each fingerprint he'd say "it's so pretty!"
we did fingerprint flowers and footprint butterflies on one side, and I wrote their names and ages underneath their heels. I used two paint colors together on each fingerprint to give the flowers more interest, which is easiest to see on the orange/red one in this pic, but it really made the bluebonnets pop.
I wanted to duplicate the same scene on the other side, but the boys ran out of steam so we just did some handprints on the two front pockets surrounded by a few flowers, and I doodled the rest to fill in some. I really want to make myself one, so maybe I can get around to that before they get too big!
