I found this one around on Pinterest, too (here). I set it up while the girls were sleeping, so it would be ready. Another super easy set up. Squeeze paint (generously) into a Ziploc bag, squeeze out air, lay white paper down and tape sealed bag onto the table over the paper. Way easy.
Quick thoughts:
- I used craft acrylic paint (because that is what I had). I either didn't put enough in or it was too thick (or both). It was difficult to mix around and feel the paint in the bag. Maybe try copious amounts of the tempera paint next time.
- I made two "stations" but guess what? They just played with one together.
- They lost interest quickly - mostly because I think it was too hard to feel and move the paint. But they came back every few minutes to try again, so I think if I got the paint right they would really like it. Good thing I picked colors for them to mix that I want to use on a painting project!
