Fingerpainting foray

I've been looking for more activities to do with Serene now that she's a little older (almost 16 months) and learning so much so quickly. She loves interacting with other kiddos and does often since we're blessed with a dear church family. I'm looking forward to perhaps taking her to Mommy & Me classes at the community center when she's old enough. I've also heard about storytime at the local library too, but they happen to fall in the middle of her morning nap. Maybe we'll go when she transitions from two to one nap a day (although I am happy if that day takes longer to arrive!). When we're home, she's all about her stuffies, bouncy balls, accessorizing herself, and shuttling down the hallway in a box, pushcart, or her parents. She recently developed a love for snuggling up against me being read "bok" (book) after "bok" all afternoon. Reading was my favorite childhood pastime, so I'm hoping her fervor for books grows. Needless to say, reading together has now become our favorite pastime.

I've been keen on introducing activities to foster her creativity though. She will color for a spell, but she doesn't rub the paper hard enough with her crayons, so coloring does not impress her very much (yet?). I remembered last week that she got some finger paints and a paint pad for her birthday, so it was time to foray into fingerpainting. She was eager to dip her fingers into the colorful goop, but was a smidgen apprehensive about smearing it all over paper. She was much more interested in playing with the bowls of finger paints. She eventually got the idea though and created a cheery, colorful, if smudgy piece of artwork.
