i think i can, i think i can….

With a wide variety of non-toxic, green paints painting outside got a lot messier.  Don’t be afraid mom I have an easy way to keep it clean for you!!

You will need:
4 Cups
4 different colored non-toxic, “green” paints
“Green” hand soap
Paintbrushes, grass, leaves anything you can think of to paint

Add paint to each cups, add a small amount of hand soap to each cup, then add a little bit of water.  Take your paint and paper outside and set up a space to paint

Have the kids drop paint from up high and do low.  Use the things around you, different texture and items to paint with.   Use grass blades to paint grass and flowers as stamps.  We used ferns, and tree branches.

When it is time to clean up use the hose- that little bit of hand soap makes clean up a breeze- and while your at spray the kids down!
