Paint with Water


Remember these books??

I thought they would be a fun and fabulous easy intro to painting for my boy, but I forgot how each page tends toward a brownish green soaking mess. Ah well, he has fun and that's the point right?



If you are on a quest, as I was, I found these books at the dollar store.

I have also picked up a paint with water book that, instead of the dots, has a "pallet" on each page. This still would require a regular brush cleaning in the water jar though which, I'm pretty sure, is not something my little artist is yet prepared to do. Again, fun times are what count!

  2. I have several of the same books to use here! The wee one here likes to use q-tips to paint with since it's easier to control in her little hand. Give it a try. xx

  4. Fun times indeed! ;)
    My girl used to love these and it was a good low-mess kind of a job.
    She also went crazy on a Buddha board - you know which I mean? It has a stone finish and you paint with water. That was mine and her favourite thing to do ;)
    A q-tip huh? Great idea ;) I wonder if that happened by accident? ;)
