Have I told you about this yet?I don't think I have. Thanks to Pinterest I have found a great way to entertain Bug when I need a few minutes to get something done like the dishes, or make dinner! It's a fantastic way for her to paint (which she LOVES) without the big clean up afterwards. Normally I don't mind a mess but when you just need 10 minutes of distraction, you don't want a 15 minute clean up at the end, so this is the perfect solution.
Here's what you'll need:
A gallon size Ziploc bag
Paints (we used fingerpaints but you can use whatever you have on hand, Tempra would work great too)
Q-tips
Tape (preferably something strong like duct tape)
Smoosh the paint around and try to push out as much of the air as you
can (smoosh is a word, right?). After you seal the bag tape it shut to
prevent any explosions! I forgot to take a picture after I taped it,
sorry!

I squirted two blobs of paint into the bag, we were working on the color green that week so I thought I would do one bag of blue and yellow to create green and another bag with green in it.
Then arm your toddler with a q-tip and hand over the bags! (You can see the duct tape in this picture!) You can even tape the bag to the surface where they are going to paint, or hang it up in a window to let the sun shine through!

| such concentration! |
She had a blast, it kept her entertained until dinner was ready and she wanted to come back to it after we were done eating!
Oh how cool! I have to try this. Thanks for sharing.
