No Mess Finger Painting

At playgroup this week, there was "sticky finger painting" with syrup coloured red for valentine's day. And would you be surprised if neither of my boys were interested in this? I was a little, but they just aren't into messy art, even if it is edible apparently. So this project was suggested to me by the co-ordinator:

Ziplock bags with a couple blobs of paint. Taped to the table with a piece of paper underneath.

Jacob was intrigued right away when I said his hands wouldn't get messy.

Mixing colours... notice Daniel having a fit on the floor in the background...

Big brother shows little brother how to paint. So cute.

Masterpieces!
We hung the bags up it the window after and they were so pretty with the sun shining through. I had hoped they might dry, but not so. It has been a few days and you can still finger paint with them! All in all a successful creative afternoon.
