My great grandson was just here a couple of days ago, he loves to paint with water colors. It is one of the things he looks forward to doing with me when he comes. I can help him learn his colors, I picked up some great stickers with letters and numbers, so I can help him learn those, and I am teaching him how to spell his name.
Though we have crayons, and washable markers, coloring books, his favorite project is painting. It is a happy moment I share with him, he is so proud of his work, we post it on the refrigerator, use it as gift wrap, give it as presents.
