Almost Wordless Wednesday- Coloring

When was the last time you colored with your children? Not watched them color, but pulled out a coloring book and put crayon to paper yourself? That was our boredom buster, turned totally cool bonding activity yesterday.


Look at our messy (happy!) kitchen table complete with doll baby who wanted to color too. ;)

Here are our masterpieces:

I chose to pick of subject near and dear to my heart: Christmas! (No offense to turtles.)

Coloring is such an enjoyable way to spend time with your children, no matter their age. Give it a try and be sure to stop back by and share a link to your pictures.
