Mess-Free Art
This activity is a super-simple way to let your child finger paint without dealing with the mess! Enjoy making art without the clean-up afterward.
Materials
Directions
Open your plastic bag and add the paint. Note: Bags can also be covered in packing tape to make them even stronger!
Place a sheet of white paper underneath the bag (on the table) to allow for greater contrast.
Tape the bag (with the white paper underneath) to the table or surface you'll be working on. Note: Having the bag stabilized makes it easier to control the paint, so that two children can play together or to allow one child to explore in greater depth.
Enjoy finger painting with none of the mess!
