Materials:
1. Small inflatable pool from Giant Hypermarket
Always do messy art with a toddler in a small inflatable pool for damage control.
It is also easier for clean-up. Trust me, I learned my lesson the hard way.
2. Cloth from Daiso. Paper won't last more than five minutes.
3. Pebeo finger paint: RM 50 for 4 tubes and a plastic smock from Craft Haven. This one has a nice consistency and not too runny like Crayola.
4. Tray: to replace art palette.
Feeling finger paint for the first time. Previously, we used yoghurt with fruits like dragonfruit (lovely shade of purple) and instant pudding. Yummy!
Unfortunately, the flies wanted a piece of the action as well and it was quite gross.

I used a tray to lay out the colours but Tiger preferred the paint fresh from the tube :)
Since I intended for this to be foot painting session, I painted his feet..LOL
Preparing for clean up

Washing up with soap, cloth and sponge

Tadaa!!
Thank God I took a picture of Tiger's masterpiece as it was destroyed in the rain overnight. Such a shame, we were planning to turn it into a skirt for Grandma :)

Craft haven is in One Utama, Damansara. The Crayola ones are fine, just a bit runny. I know what you mean about finding the things in KL, things are always so obscure and almost 'secretive' Haha!
oh no no, i thought i asked u about what paints u have. lols or maybe i didnt comment after all. i have so many tabs of your posts and im always in a hurry , so maybe i missed it. didnt comment but thought i did :S
i was wondering because u seem to have few types of paints. *grin*
oh, i also asked what does your DS do to the sensry box? how do kids usually play with them? (have i already asked?in yhour other post?)
omg im so excited! i thought the ICT blocked blogspot but i can access! whee
No problem. These are the ones I have tried:
Finger paint: Pebeo from Art Haven; Crayola from ToyRUs
Normal bottled paint: ToysRUs brand, Melissa and Doug, ELC (not so good)
Dot painters: ALEX brand (Think Toys), ELC brand (Mothercare, Bangsar), Crayola brand
The crayons/markers are mostly Crayolas and some M&D.
Sensory bins are open ended. So, basically, anything goes. My DS loves to scoop stuff. Then we talk about colours, shapes, hard/soft, big/small, imaginary scenes (eg: dinosaurs scene), singing, counting, practise fine motor and one to one correspondence. Endless, really. Which is why I love them so :)
so means u have to learn up songs to sing to him?
you are a super mom! hence u have a super tot? or its the other way round? ;) ^.^
