[The Rattle] Mess-Free Painting with Baby

Day 11: 31 Day Challenge

I've tried painting with a 4 mo old [cute Father's day present] but WHAT A MESS. On the days you want to get creative with baby but don't want to spend hours in the bathtub, try out this fun project!

What you need:



Heavy Duty Ziplock Bag [I used a med bag= less paint]
Washable Paint
Baby Oil
Duct Tape [JUST in case]

How you do it:



Add paint [fun to mix colors] + baby oil to the ziplock bag. I did about a 65% paint to 35% baby oil ratio, but just eyeball it. Try adding pom-poms or glitter for more fun. Let out most of the air and seal TIGHTLY. Then duct tape the bag opening if you are worried your babe will try to open it. Let them grab, pat, and play with the bag while they watch the colors change.

[NOTE: make sure to always supervise your baby during playtime. My little man tried to eat the bag which is a big no-no!]
