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!

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.
