Wednesday Toddler Activities: Shaped Sponge Paintings

Howdy dooooody lovelies! Hope your week has been MARVELOUS so far!! I
It’s been happy…victorious…and amazing in our little neck of the woods.
Every day is a gift for God isn’t it…I’m so glad I get to be Jaxon’s Mamma…for one more day!! And many more I hope!! I’m so glad God shared this amazing little guy with me…he’s kind of…. my everything!♥
Anywho…here’s our FUN activity for the week! You know my MASTER PAINTER LOOOOOVED it too!!

To do your own SHAPED SPONGE PAINTINGS you will need:
○ Sponges
○ Scissors
○ Paint
○ Paper

I used plain-Jane Dollar Tree sponges…
painting 025
and used scissors to cut them into shapes…

Jaxon has to touch everything…and approve of the process.
painting 028

He could not wait to get started on his project….
painting 026

Surprisingly the sponges are SUPER easy to cut!
painting 031
I made a square, a rectangle, a heart…and an EGG for Easter.☺

As soon as the sponges were ready…Jax dunked them in and started his painting.
painting 032

He painted and painted with the sponges.
painting 034
I get such a kick out of watching him when he’s in his zone.
He switched out the different shapes on his own…but he really wasn’t into using the sponges as stamp to make the actual shapes. And it was his painting…so I let him do his thing!☺
painting 038
painting 045
He also had to do a little FINGERPAINTING too.

Looooook MAMMA!!!

And here is the final product….

Even the sponges were pretty…LOL.

This is a project that is most definitely NOT limited to toddlers. Children of all ages would enjoy it!!
Hope you will as well!
Happy MIDDLE-OF-THE-WEEK!!!

Holi Canolies! I had the BEST weekend. My birthday was Sunday, and the entire weekend was just MARVELOUS!
And because I had such a great weekend…I have nada for a scheduled blog. That’s okay though…keeping things different…is a GOOD THING! You never know what to expect around here! LOL!☺
************************************************
Now back to my fabulous birthday weekend….
My best friend and I went JUNKING on Saturday. Before we went to “finger the beads” as my granny used to call it….she took me out for lunch at a local BBQ place in Midland, Texas…about 25 miles from our little town.

****************************************************
After our photo shoot….we hit the JUNK fabulousness!
We found 2 fabulous green chairs. One at Goodwill…and another in an alley. Oh lordy!
They are SUPER fabulous. We plan to use one for photo shoots…and the other I am going to use as a vintage chair for my home office!
I didn’t have pictures of the two lima bean jewels on my camera so I will have to show them off at a later date!!
********************************
I also had a fabulous Ihop date with my parents last night too! So fun! Waffles, French toast, and all sorts of yumminess to celebrate my birthday! I AM SO LOVED!!
**********************************
One of the neatest things I experienced for my birthday was all of the warm birthday wishes I received on my personal Facebook page. All day long my phone would beep that I had new postings on my wall. It made my day!! To hear from all of your friends on your birthday is priceless! If you don’t Facebook…it’s worth it just for that!!!
Well I’m off to cleaning and working land now!! Back to reality!! LOL! I only have one closet left to conquer too! Yipeeeeeeeeee! Why are closets such a doozie to work through??? Uuugh!!!
Have a SUPER Monday!!!
