Things you'll need for activity

How To Make

Step 1: place paper on the board (we used plexi glass we had). 

Step 2: drop teaspoon size drops of different paint onto paper.

Step 3: if using clear warp, wrap many times so that a thick barrier is created. If using a ziplock baggie, place paper inside baggies and seal.



How To Play

Depending on your babies skill level, they can either be laying down on tummy or sitting. Allow baby to squish and mash the paint with their hands. Be mindful if using clear wrap that they cannot break though it. You can hold baby, while they step on the paint dabs as well.
