Summer painting... the clean way

Your very own paint with water color pages.

Draw a picture of the child's choosing using black permanent marker (or trace one if you don't trust your artistic abilities).

Have the children outline the edges with some washable magic markers and then use a paint brush dipped in water to pull the color into the rest of the image by starting at the edge and pulling the brush to the middle.

Easy, simple and clean.

And the kids were entertained for at least 1 hour.

And for my kids, that is really saying something.
