As already referenced, Carmela had a banner Chanukah. Among the many kind and thoughtful gifts she received was a fabulous art set from her Nana Doctor. Carmela is now the proud owner of an easel that has a dry erase surface and a chalkboard surface, plus lots of bins and trays for her supplies, which she also has in abundance. Carmela is still a bit too young to really understand drawing and coloring, and generally prefers to nibble her crayons and suck on her markers, but that's OK. She's all set for whenever the creative match strikes. Meanwhile, she does enjoy the tactile experience of finger painting, and likes to squish in the paints and swirl around the colors. She even enjoys getting her toes in on the action. What she lacks, however, is the attention span necessary to make art. Thus, tiny multi-colored footprints heading out of the kitchen and into the dining room. Thank goodness for washable finger paint!
