Paint Bags

I've seen this activity a few times and have been meaning to try it for a while. Don't know why I waited so long because it literally took two minutes. This is a good one to just leave out for a while until your child loses interest. Ours have been taped to our back window for about a week. 

You just need gallon or quart size ziplock bags, masking tape, and paint (we used Crayola Washable Paint). Squeeze a few globs into the bag. We did a red/yellow/blue bag, a pink/purple/white bag, and a plain brown bag. Yes, the brown bag turned out to be as boring as expected. 

Seal the bag and tape it to a table or window. We started on the table but then decided it was kind of cool on the window wit the sun shining through the paint.

You can mix it to see how the colors male new colors. You can make designs in it with your finger. You can use it to practice writing letters, numbers, words, etc....and there's no mess! Just pull it off and throw it away when you're done with it!
