T-shirt project: Hands

A month of confinement in winter means our activities are pretty much limited to indoor projects. Its hard to keep our interaction "educational". I feel quite guilty that sometimes all we do is sit together and watch his favourite tv program. I always think tt I should be showing him flashcards to increase his literacy,teach him how to sing and count to 100 or something. I try but most of the time he runs off and I lose patience. The incentive to keep trying decreases with each attempt.

But one of the things we do a lot is create art pieces because it keeps him interested. In our latest project I bought a couple of plain Ts and fabric paint. In our first attempt he wanted an outline of his hand and mine. He then helped to create these beautiful blotches all over the sleeves and back using his palms and fingers. I won't say its nice but I praised him for his attempt at creative conceptualisation. Looking forward to create the next T.
