Painting with Vroom Vrooms

"Vroom Vrooms" have been a huge part of our lives since Waylon was mobile enough to scoot to the stroller and try to spin the wheels. He takes them everywhere. He sleeps with them, eats with them, bathes with them and paints with them. Now every little guy (or girl) enjoys running a car through some paint to make tracks on the paper, but Waylon manages to do it regardless of my intention. I will set out paint and brushes, or paint and gadgets, or fingerpaints, etc. and he will somehow produce a car and start painting with it or painting it.




Washing the car in a tub of soapy water might even be more fun than painting it. Perfect for a cold January day.

  1. So glad to see you blog. We got your Christmas card – beautiful! I am still in the planning stages of ours so it may be a … St. Patrick's Day card? Say Hi to Hollin for us.

  2. This could be used to create some fine art pieces. I attempted something similar this summer using marbles and paint but only ended up making a mess in the grass. Maybe Marshall + a car + paint would work better!

  3. Definite fine art potential. You choose the colors, give him a variety of wheels and some nice paper. You will have the walls decorated in no time.

  4. That's very nice. Exposing your child into art is not just fun but very educational. I'm sure you got yourself a Painter someday.
