secret message watercoloring

after dinner and before baths, i broke out the watercolors to do a little painting. before i gave the boys their papers, i wrote a 'secret message' in white crayon.matty is just starting to see letters appear...


his secret message? WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR? answer=purple


David and I worked together. His message? DAVID IS SILLY. definitely!

So cute. Did they love it?
I want to try this with the girls, maybe draw them a picture or write their names or the alphabet, since they are just learning to read.

Ah! I love, love, love the simple fun of this project! We're starting school (at home) on Tuesday morning...and I think a secret message placemat with watercolors waiting will be the perfect way to kick off the day. Lovely idea, lovely blog....ps...lovely jewelry too!
