As part of Lucian's feeding therapy I've been trying to incorporate foods into our projects. Getting him to touch foods in a non-threatening way is a step to maybe one day getting him to try them. Our Easter project today then, was stamping with potatoes carved to look like Easter eggs.
First, I attempted to carve 6 potato halves to look like Easter designs. They are nowhere near perfect, but they worked. I stamped each egg first to make sure they worked, and then we passed small paper plates around (each had one potato half and the color of washable paint assigned to it).
Sutton usually has limited patience for art projects, but she really enjoyed this one. Even after the other kids had left the table she used some of the potatoes again to fill up her piece of paper.
Now my artwork display area is looking very Easter like!
