Since we enjoy our backyard birds, finches in particular, we decided to paint some birdhouses. An inexpensive project as the birdhouses were only $1/ea and the paints I had on hand from various other craft projects. I let each of the kids pick their three colors. Avery found that blue, violet and pink mix really well together and Wyatt found that after a few coats, blue orange and red make brown. He was so excited that he made brown! This time I let them do their thing, but we might pull these out again and "print" on them or add a paper mache or clay bird.

Wyatt started out with a paintbrush for each color, but really got into the
mixing of colors on his brush, palette, and birdhouse. |

Avery was very particular about her paints - she had
a different paint brush for each color. |
