Make a Messterpiece

This past weekend, we tried a new place that I found called Make a Messterpiece. It was a place that I figured Matthew and I would love because it was all about doing art projects. Grant is not quite as into making art projects as us, but he did end up having a great time. We were there for over two hours. Grant is a more analytical person and I am a more creative thinker, so, for right now, Matthew is taking after me with the creative part. If you have ever seen some of the things he has drawn, painted, or built you would agree.

We started off in a small play area while we figured out which art project to do first.

It's fun that Daddy gets to climb in all these small places now, since I can't. Hopefully, I will be able to help soon though.

He may have had some help with spelling his name, but he told us what every letter he put on the page was.


This was so cool. Different colored bubbles came down, and you made a really neat looking art project.

Here is his completed bubble art project.

Watercolors are usually something he does at least twice a week. Here he is making a house.

In one room, you got to bang on drums that had colored paint in them, so you had to wear quite an outfit to avoid getting paint all over you.

He even has boots on, which you can't see in the picture. We were amazed that he let all these things be put on him, and he left them there.

Watching him do this had to be one of the funniest things we have ever seen.

They play music while you are in this little room drumming.

I thought he would really pound, but he was very gentle. We figure that, by next year, he will really know what to do. I love at the end of the video if you watch you can see him mouthing "no more, to let us know he was done.
