And as is usually the case, I have a couple of "helpers".
So, I decided to make it a "learning opportunity"! We used the paints I was sifting through to match colors. 
It was a brave move on my part. There were many tops that were removed and paint was on hands, counters, etc. 
I would ask her, "Ellie, where is the 'red family'?". I would give her an A for effort, but not an A for matching. YET!
This is the first batch of paint, inks, sprays, etc to make the pack pile!
Gabbi's learning opportunity came in the form of "out" and "in". I asked her to help me by putitng the stamps in the box. 
Again... A for effort ONLY!
Hey Rachel. See that shape in the background? That is your oak tree! See? I am telling the truth. 
And we ended it with a big, fat, "gimme five"! 
Helpers? Welllll, kinda!

So so so cute! Great job to you mom for finding a teachable moment!! I need to be better about that!
I applaud you for incorporating the teaching moment. In my rush to check things off my to-do list I tend to forget things like this - thanks for the awesome mommy reminder!
