baggie painting

Keatin really likes to paint...and she is very trustworthy when I get the paints out. I can get her all set up with paper, paints, cup of water, wet rag, and a paper towel at the kitchen table and she is good to go! So, when I saw this baggie painting activity, I thought I would give it a whirl. It was SOOO easy...I used the printable leaf template and all. :) And honestly the only mess was on my hands when I dug the painted leaf out of the baggie! (I actually did this when we had a co-workers 2 kids over last weekend - a kindergartener and another 3 year old - and all the kids really liked squishing the paint in their baggie.) Keatin loves that little leaf she painted...she is still dragging it around the house. And this is totally something you could do any season of the year with any shape and any paint colors! I am sure we will try it again this Thanksgiving and Christmas season...
