Painting Time!!!
The boys chose their colors and carefully started the process.


Here is Austin's:
And Brady's too:

After it was all over, I steam set the colors...and the roving actually looks pretty much the same. Little variations here and there. Once the roving dries I will be sure to put up some pictures! More pictures will come once I spin it up. The boys are excited about naming their own yarn.
This was Drew's final product:

The entire process really only took about an hour. Who knows what we will do tomorrow! ♥
What a great memory this will be for you. I think it's great to get kids involved with this. My nephew wanted a necklace this summer, he picked out the beads and when we were done, it looked perfect for a girl, but he wanted to wear it. So, off he went with it.
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea! Love the intense looks of concentration on each of their faces! I did day care with 3 to 5 year old and those pictures bring back some happy and very messy memories. Thanks so much for sharing! Oh, can't wait to see what the roving gets named!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time you all must have had!
ReplyDeleteOoh, your one brave mamma! Just finger painting in my house requires a hose down after, of the boys and the house!
ReplyDeleteLooks like they had a ball. ^-^ My two would have made a huge mess but perhaps when they get older. Can't wait to see the yarns.
