Spray bottle paint

About 6 years a go when I worked in social work I brought spray bottles made just for paint from Lakeshore. I was excited when I came across it in the art box the other day.
I taped art paper on the fence, with a little help from Owen. For the paint I mixed children's washable paint (a little bit) and water. Owen loved it he had a lot of fun. I was ready for a big mess but it really was not that bad. Most of the paint if not all was on the paper. This would make cute wrapping paper, ( Fathers day).

A trip to lakeshore

Today the kids and I took a trip to Lakeshore Learning Store. I love this place. If you are a teacher or childcare provider then you might already know about this store. When I worked in social work we would get our art supplies for the group home here. We needed to get a birthday gift for my nephew Day and we also needed some art supplies.
As I opened the doors to the store Owen ran into the store and said " wow" as he ran in. Owen must of played with ever toy, music instruments, and any thing he found. Emily liked the music they had playing in the store. We found a get science kit for Day and I was able to get new paint brushes and mixing trays. Owen also found egg shakers, he picked one out for him and Emily. As we were leaving Owen found a little spy glass. It was way to cute how he kept looking at every thing throw it. He kept trying to give me one. Lol.
I could spend a lot of money in this store.
Do you know of a great store were you can find educational toys?


Just as I was about to post this Owen came in the room holding that package of new paint brushes saying "colors" we are off to paint!
