Let me tell you about how I bought a large, festive cardboard fort (on sale đ). My kids love to color and I envisioned us working together to make Santaâs Workshopâthe anchor of our play area for the holiday season. WellâŚmy preschooler was overwhelmed with how much white space was left to color. My fun holiday activity started to feel like a chore. EnterâPAINT. We keep washable paint on hand and painting the large white spaces was so much faster than coloring with markers or crayons. My preschooler was so happy to have a creative outlet AND feel like she âfinishedâ something. Weâre taking it slowâone wall at a time. Iâll post a pic in stories when weâre done prepping it for Santa!
