It’s great that Ronnie got the paints out. I’m all for messy play with toddlers (excluding baked bean play which I left to their nursery. Just no). But I wouldn’t have wanted them painting in a white shirt when a plastic apron wipes clean in a minute. Just creates unnecessary work and more washing. Each to their own I guess.
Ok, hands up, you sound far more fun than I was as a mum to my toddlersIt’s utterly heartbreaking that the painting was purely staged for that advert. .
My two have been outside painting all afternoon - well the paints were one of many things set up and they dipped in and out of them. The 2year old painted himself. The 3.5 year old actually did a painting. Their clothes are covered in paint but who cares. it was there messy clothes - everyone has messy clothes. The stains might come out. They might not. I dnot really care.They had fun. They were learning about colours, motor skills etc.
Ronnie is just a prop. Poor kid.
