Hot Wheels, Spider, Watercolors

As I think I've mentioned before, Enid loves Hot Wheels. She has learned to set up elaborate tracks for them, and she will run the course over and over and over. Pictured is only part of what she has collected.



While playing in her pool the other day, Enid decided she should use her dragon to squirt my butterfly garden. Then she found a surprise and changed her mind.







A few months ago, I bought Enid some watercolor concentrates and a white paper lantern. We finally used them! After the watercolors dried, she added green glow-in-the-dark paint to them. It gives a nice little glow over the foot of her bed at night. She kept asking for a light bulb, but I told her it wasn't a safe idea. She agreed.



Here's what she made with the leftover watercolors I mixed that day... a coffee filter butterfly and some coffee filter flowers.
