Wet Painting

On days when the kids are home, I try to have an activity in store for them. When they ask, " What are we doing today, Mom?" , I'll just pull that activity out and entertainment is served. Last week, we did wet painting.

You'll need to soak several sheets of thick painting paper in the bathtub for about 3-4 minutes. Wipe off excess water so that it does not leave a pool of water on the table. ( You may want to cover the table with plastic sheetings / shower curtains to protect the surface. ) Then hand the kids paintbrushes , poster paint and a bucket of water to wash the paintbrushes. After that , let them experiment. When the paint touches the wet paper , it'll spread as it mixes with the water. My kids usually goes quiet as they watch the paint run across the paper.
