My toddler (2 yrs old) made his 1st handmade ornament last night ~ I think he did a great job! I held a clear, glass ornament in my hand and gave him 1 color paint at a time (I used Folk Art Enamel paint ). When it finished drying, I sprayed it with a protective sealant so the paint won’t get scratched off as easily in the upcoming years. So simple & festive! A great keepsake to look back on every year.
