As mentioned in previous posts, there are lots of items that can be used as devices for painting. To add to the wide variety of tools, there are also a few things that I like to give my tods the opportunity to paint ON!
One of which is aluminum foil....
Look how much fun they are having!!! The foil is a great palate for fingerpaint because it is so smooth, shiny and allows them to make patterns with their fingers that are easy to see! Start with a few colors and add more as they spread the gooey delightfulness all around! Added bonus is that when you are all done, just roll it up and toss it away....easy clean up! I recommend ripping off a piece that is big enough for your kiddo to stretch their arms out and not be able to touch the bare table. Tape all the sides down and let them loose!
Another take on this activity is to use Saran Wrap. Literally wrap one half of your kitchen table with some Saran (take a piece that is just a little longer than the side of the table and tape each end under the edge. Repeat again and overlap the piece that you just laid down by a few inches and secure with tape...repeat until you have the desired surface area for your painting extravaganza!) Plop some blobs of fingerpaint all around.....fun for hours and, just like the foil, easiest clean up of all time!!
