Painting with an Infant - failed attempt

This morning's project was pretty much a fail.

The (Pinterest) idea was to:
-put globs of paint on paper
-put the paint globbed paper in a Ziploc bag
-tape the paper filled globbed paper Ziploc bag to the floor
-let baby slap and smoosh and rub paint
-keep the abstract art if you want.
Well, I was a bit too excited about doing this and might have tried it too early into Rosie's day. That was my first mistake.
My second mistake was not taking into account that she is more into sound right now than touch or sight (except lights), so I should have put wrappers or something underneath to crinkle and keep her interest longer than 3 seconds.
My third mistake was try to use wimpy construction paper. The paint globbed paper stuck to the bag and ripped, pealed and pretty much deteriorated when I tried to take it out.

So, that was just practice. I'll apply what I learned and try again another time.
