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).

Potato stamping

Yesterday Owen was helping his mommy clean the craft room. Well let's face it Owen helped as much as a toddler can. He loved playing with my stamps and made a very big mess. :-) This gave me the idea for potato stamping.
I found a potato in the pantry that was growing. LOL. Perfect for paint and little fingers. I made very simple shapes using a melon baller.
At first Owen jumped right in and started to finger paint. After I showed him that the potatoes made shapes the stamping fun began. After about 20 minutes I had two new paintings for my wall and a very colorful little man.
Off to the bath.
