I love the photos - such a fun, sensory project - and so great that you let the kids explore it their way. It's lovely to discover your blog through the Kids Co-op. I run a monthly Kids Art Explorers project that's all about the process of art rather than necessarily how it turns out. You'd be really welcome if you fancy joining in sometime.

Hi, just hopped over from It's Playtime, completely agree that the pretend play doctors stuff available is not very good, but what creative solutions you've managed to come up with, I love the idea for the patient chart and for the link to the eye chart. Hospital play is often being requested in our house so need to add some of these elements, looks like you all had a lots of fun. Thanks for sharing.

Re: The Green Paint Incident

Jean Curtis — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 06:04:54 -0000

On the bright side, it could've been a Santa Christmas activity with red paint. Red paint doesn't come off as easy. I've had good luck with greens and yellows. ;)

You have a great blog!

I have a blog as well, but I’m only able to update it when
big events occur so I can remember them later in my daughter’s life. J

I am a freelance writer and I was wondering if you’d be
interested in a writing opportunity I have for moms.
