Body Painting

Put my Pinterest Pins to work today. I have quite a few pins on my 'Play w/the Kids' board that I go to for ideas. I was looking for activities to do with the boys outside and came across a few body painting pins. This post from the blog Play Create Explore looked promising.

I set it up outside on our driveway after some play at the water table.

2 foil pans with some paint and a canvas drop cloth I use for painting projects around the house.

Louis who is typically anti-getting messy initially was all over this activity. His hands went right into the paint.
 

 Eventually he opted for painting his body parts and using them to paint the sheet with.

 He wanted every single last bit of paint.

Overall it was a successful project. I used paint labeled "washable" but found that it was a bit stubborn when I washed it off the driveway. I had to scrub it a bit but Louis did most of that with a small brush. Thankfully our neighbor lent us her hose so I could wash the boys and driveway off. They absolutely loved the hose so I know I really need to hurry up and get one for our house.

Louis thought this was the coolest thing ever. He can't wait to do it again.
