Try this Tuesday

As you can see from my Magic Marker Monday post that Tristan is not a fan of coloring. It isn't something I push but something he must learn to love if he is going to learn to write. Tristan and I often use less traditional methods to express his creativity. His favorite one is the Popsicle/Jello painting.

I make our coloring Popsicles with just water. Although I have seen it done with juice especially good idea if your child is in need of extra nutrition and calories (this came in handy post T@A surgery) He then has a variety of colors of jello to choose from and dips his Popsicle in the jello and paints on the paper. I don't like my children to consume too much sugar so we don't do this everyday or anything. Usually on the weekend as a treat. This activity is fun and doubles up as an introduction to coloring and also good sensory stimulation. You have to know there will be alot of tasting of the Popsicle. :) Chanelle and I also enjoy this activity. Loads of fun and sweet!
