I'm a weeny- I dripped splorps of paint for her, and let her go to town mashing them around with a foam brush. I also stood by with a sponge to wipe up anything she got on the table. Yeah, not the delirious abandonment art should generally be, but we're taking baby steps/strokes :)
We have some very weird "art" pieces left her by the previous owners- they basically look like finger painting, on huge art canvases. I'm going to paint them white, then let the kids go to town with paints that match our new wall colors. I'm thinking this "drop and spread" method would work well for Mimi :) I just can't decide what kind of paints to use. It will probably just be tempura, for the non-toxic factor. She doesn't have a very well-established sense of "Hmm...this tastes funky, I better not eat it." She'll eat homemade play dough, shuddering with each bite. She kept dipping her finger in the paint and thoughtfully sucking it off. I KNOW it didn't taste good, so what she was so "thoughtful" about, I have no idea!! *grin*
She was probably thinking, "I can do this. I can do this. It's not *shudder* so bad." LOL
