New Paints

I purchased some small Crayola paints sometime last year from Michaels that the girls have loved using and have also been easy to clean up. We have used these paints for so many different art projects! This year as I was looking at purchasing some new school materials (and a few Christmas gifts as well) from one of my favorite places, Constructive Play Things, I purchased big containers of Crayola paint. I also purchased these nifty spill proof containers with matching lids and paint brushes so it's easy for the girls to tell which brush belongs with which paint and our colors stay nice and brights. Super cool! The girls were very excited when they arrived and sat right down to try the new paint out! :)Here's an advertisement for their spill proof lids. This is what my floor looked like after Missy K dumped the green paint on the floor upside down. Not a single drop of paint! I couldn't believe it!Woo hoo!!!The floor faired a bit better than Missy K, however, who caught her eye with the paintbrush as she inspected the damage she had (or rather had not) created. Now if someone would invent some spill proof something that kept paint off the kids and their clothes... At least it's washable and does clean up very quickly and easily!And at least we're having fun!!! lol :)If you've never heard of Constructive Playthings you should check out their website: http://www.constructiveplaythings.com/cgi-bin/s.sh/2.0/index.html

They have such cool toys and everything is basically related to learning in some way. I love this place! I could spend tons of money shopping on this site!!! :)
