Easy and fun way to paint!

Materials(affiliate links):
Cotton Balls
Clothespins
Paint

First get a tray with sections, muffin tins are always good too. Pour your paint into the tray sections. Then attach a cotton ball to a clothespin and put at least one into each color.

Next let the kids paint and explore! I love to see the art these kids make. They always surprised me with their ideas!

Hi I’m Shann, a Preschool Teacher, mother of three and Creator of Learn As You Play. I have been working as a preschool teacher for 13 years with children ranging from 1- 5 years old. I believe that PLAY is a huge part of children’s learning and development. Children should be active and involved in their learning. Children learn best by doing. My goal is for children to develop a love for learning while having fun!
