Water bottle spray painting is so much fun. If you fill these with a few drops of liquid watercolor, and lay out a big canvas drop-cloth, direct the kids to make a beautiful spray painting on the cloth. We even do this inside and it’s a big hit.

Art on the go! I used to to take this art pad with us anywhere. You fill the little pen with water and your child can draw on the mat. No mess, easy to transport.
