Picasso in the Park

What a perfect sunny Friday for Picasso in the park. This event really does make me wish it was summer all year long. The kids just love running from the park to the splash pad, to the painting table. Babies all the way to the older kids just love this event, and the creations just keep getting better as the summer goes on! We have also been so lucky to have such great weather for every Picasso event.

I love that we keep this event so simple. Paper. paint. and a few paint brushes. It really allows the kids to create whatever they want. My daughter collected feathers from all around the park (yes...at first all i could think was "gross"). Then she started dipping them in paint, and creating really great patterns on the paper! Many of the kids don't even bother with the paint brushes, they just jump right in with their hands! A few today were just using the rocks on the ground to stamp patterns on the paper. It really does allow the kids to use their creativity and imagination - and the scene around the park sets the perfect tone.

Next Picasso i'm going to plan ahead to bring a picnic lunch for me and the kids - we never seem to have enough time in the morning to do everything:)
