When I was pregnant with Sugarplum, I had another friend pregnant with her second as well. Her eldest is now in middle school but I vividly remember my dear friend’s profile picture from that time of her full belly painted with love by her older daughter. It was an idea I have always loved but did not take advantage of trying myself, until last night.
In anticipation of this little one’s (hopefully!) impending arrival, I bared my ever growing belly, armed my children with paintbrushes and opened up the paint jars for a little family belly painting. And the following minutes were some I will never forget as our family came together to literally surround this tiny little person with love and art.
Supplies needed:
- Soft bristled paintbrushes
- Body paint or tempera paint (both of which will easily wash off)
- Cup of water for rinsing brushes between colors
- Wash cloths/paper towels (little ones are messy!
