color with me ?

Originally uploaded by rgilmanhunt.

We first got Ms K’s color wonder markers, we were going to save them for the Disneyland trip. We decided, after she decorated herself with a ballpoint pen, to go ahead and give them to her. Now she will carry them around looking for someone to color with her. She has many books; they fill up quickly. I actually wound up hiding most of her completed books- she’d open them all up and look for new pictures to color.

When we first got them, she would point at a picture and command us to “color!” Now, she’s learning to color by herself, or next to someone else. She’ll still tell people to color, but it’s more companionable now.

    We can’t get the markers away from her long enough to figure out which ones are dead and which aren’t, so she has a big box full of half dead markers. Of course if we throw some away, she has a fit. The books are mostly full but there’s a few blank pages left; she’ll need more in about a week I think.

    One thing I do *not* recommend for 2 year olds is the colorwonder fingerpaints. It’s like the kid’s playing in the vaseline :( YUCK!
