Daddy bought El a stepstool and painted it first. He also bought animal-shaped sponges for her to use.

El was really excited about painting it and sat in the stepstool all morning.

Finally, we got the area ready and got El in her "painting clothes".

She had LOTS of fun. Had it not been for Mommy, she would have painted Maddo too.

Daddy paints El's name on the stepstool.

After a while of stamping animals all over the stepstool, El decides to mix all the colors together and paint the whole thing an interesting purple-brown shade.

El finished it off with 3 handprints and two footprints. WHA-LA!
