Tonight after dinner we sat down to paint as a family. Not a typical activity to do as a whole family but one of our most successful activities to date!
The girls truly love to paint and frequently ask to do so. I want them to explore art by looking at paintings (in art books and at museums) and by making art. I feel this is just as important as learning academically and will have a great affect on their futures. (Not saying that they will grow up to be famous artist, but if they have a talent for it (like a few in my family --my sister and mother!) then why not expose them to it and see if they have a talent for it.)
Besides, the time that we spent together doing this as a family is probably the most important factor!
