Experiment Girl – Celery Painting

When I made Tomato Basil Parmesan soup a few weeks ago, the recipe called for chopped celery.  I just bought an entire celery stalk at the grocery store and when I cut the end off I remembered seeing somewhere that the end of a celery stalk would make a good stamp.  I tried a few paintings before she got out of bed and when she got up I set her up and let her go to town.  She could do this craft from start to finish by herself (other than pouring the paint) and she had fun making a painting for herself and one for Gramme.
