For Christmas, Amelia got her daddy a gift certificate for the local "paint your own pottery" shop, as an idea for a fun day together. On Sunday, the 3 of us went to use the certificate. We made a coaster for daddy's coffee mug at work, a Christmas ornament (a belated idea for a yearly tradition), a coaster for mommy, and one more secret item.
Amelia was being a moody artist. We pictured handing her a brush and letting her go to town, even using her hands to smear some abstract art. She wasn't a huge fan of our expectations. What finally worked was Chris holding her in his lap, giving her the brush, and him holding the item up while she waved the brush around.
It's not fantastic art, but that's the point. :)
