Fun Freetime: Fun with Paint

Here are some creative ideas to do with paint for your artistically-inclined children.

Paint a mural. If you have a large basement wall or a playroom wall, let them paint or draw on it! You can always paint over it when you get bored with it.

Try using unusual objects for painting. Old toys like cars, erasers, toilet paper tubes, and more can all be used as non-traditional paintbrushes.

Water paint! Give your kids clean paintbrushes and buckets of water, and have them "paint the deck."
