It does look like fun. Especially the "accidental" hair painting.

She can't go a day without paint, markers, or something else drawn all over her body. She seems to think her skin is a better art paper than anything else. <br /><br />I am sure the parents know that this is how you teach and that they should put their kids in play clothes for school. Keep up the fun work!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572016720759746974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-75721046467305914942011-03-26T09:59:27.222-07:002011-03-26T09:59:27.222-07:00oh- I used to have a little girl in my room who we...oh- I used to have a little girl in my room who went home nearly every day with her hair painted a different color! Her hair happened to be blond- so you could REALLY see it! Her mom thought it was quite fun and had no problem with it! If anyone is concerned about it...I simply remind them that it IS washable and should come out of hair as well as clothes :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12353127376585187663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-47463150311889703772011-03-26T09:57:26.127-07:002011-03-26T09:57:26.127-07:00I often wish that could post a sign outside my cla...I often wish that could post a sign outside my classroom that says something like, "Dear Parents; I know that your kids own beautiful clothes but if you wear them to school they WILL get dirty and NO, i will not "make sure " they are wearing a smock.<br /> I once had a very nicely dressed 3 year ask me if he could sit down. Huh? Yes, of course, Mickey." He was standing in the sand box area.

I think I will share your blog with my co-workers and parents - because I have never created a mess quite this bad! When they start to complain about painted hands or paint spills on the art table, I will simply remind them of you.
