My kids loved playing with water, I remember the "fountains" they would make with the hose and other stuff in the back yard or just play in the sprinkler.
Time is going fast, at least for me as well...I'm going to be the mother of a teenager soon and it seems like just yesterday he was playing tball for the first time instead of playing for the school team.
Dd never finger-painted. Clearly she did NOT like the idea at all, lol. They tried to get her to do it in pre-school even, although she was already 3, but she steadfastly refused. In the end they let her have a brush.
It is also quite easy to carve simple shapes in half a potato (the cut side makes an even surface for the paint). I wasn't that smart, btw, just have a good memory of how I felt as a kid.
Funny! The best though was dh. He came to the US at age 11, and went straight into American public school, in the middle of the year. The teacher did not know what to do with him and probably thought he was "slow" since he spoke no English, so she gave him an easel and some finger paints at the back of the room. Dh was stumped and managed to mime out that the brush was missing. He liked the next plan much better - they sat him between two girls and told the girls to help him with English. That he liked.

LoL...finger painting is not for everyone.

DS1, the born hedonist, would dive into finger paint with both hands, but DS2, channeling, DH, required a brush.
Yeah well, that's just, ya know, like, your opinion, man-The Big Lebowski
We also learned that crayons and toasters don't mix.
