KIDS LOVE TO PAINT!
Most kids love to paint and although there are quite a few paint options out there at stores, there is nothing quite like homemade paint. With homemade paint...not only is your child going to express their creativity through the painting medium but they also have the benefit of actually helping in the creation of their paint! It is what I call total immersion in an activity! You will find on this lens lots of homemade paint recipes, most of the items are probably in your kitchen right now. So lets get measuring, mixing and letting the painting begin!!
