Painting Birdhouses

The kids amazed me with this project. I took them to Michael's to pick out their birdhouse. Then, when we got home they pick out the paint they wanted to use from my collection of acrylic paints. I didn't give them any advice on what colors to choose and they didn't ask for it. They also decided where they wanted each color to go. I painted the edges where different colors bordered, gave them some instruction on how to use and hold the brush and they did the rest. They had so much patience with this project and really tried hard to do a good job. Their efforts showed because they look great!
