Put some old clothes on your child, give them old painting supplies and a box, and let the fun begin!
Supplies:
an old box
paintbrush
water-based paint
newspaper
Directions:
Lay out newspaper on the floor, set the box on top, and pour a little bit of paint into a disposable bowl. Let them paint away! If you have them available, provide multiple paint colors and watch your child turn the old box into a house, pirate ship, car, or simply a piece of art.
*Tip – if you are doing this activity indoors, be sure to tape the newspaper to the floor.
