Treat the balls gently--we found the silk paint comes off very easily!

First we tickled Madeleine's hand with paint.

She spread her fingers a bit, and we pressed her hand onto the ornament. She loved placing her hand just so, and then seeing the snowmen when she lifted her hand!

It came out beautifully! We had to wait for just a little while for the paint to dry...

Then Maddie drew on happy, smiling faces (who wouldn't feel happy while creating these sweet things!?!)....

and hats.... and arms.... (being careful not to smear the ink)....

...and it's so completely adorable!
