Finger paints

So, I was excited about trying out finger paints.
I guess I was the only one.
I finally picked some up for Oliver and we went outside all set with our colors laid out, paper ready to go and some water for cleanup.
"Go ahead Oliver, dip your hands in it like this!"
Small finger dabbed in the paint.
"Go ahead, put your whole hand in like this!"
Hand in paint.
"Now you can paint on the paper with your WHOLE hand!"
Resistant to really get into the whole painting with his hand.
"We all done. I all done mommy. We take it inside mommy."

So. Live and learn. I still like finger paints. Maybe I'll save them for Aleksandr.
Or maybe I'll use them, ha!
