When painting round objects, like an egg, a ball or toilet paper roll, it helps to rest it on a holder so it won’t roll off.

It also helps to ensure it stays in place and not roll around when it is drying.

Mugs and egg cartons make excellent holders :)

You know I do a lot of hand and foot painting with my boy. When it’s time to wash his hands or feet, it is such a hassle if I need to grab hold of a soap bar or squeeze some out of a bottle.

What I normally do is to wash and decorate my empty shower gel bottles and refill them with handwash liquid.

I have a bottle in every corner of my house! Just kidding :D I only have them in every corner of the washroom :P

Ever tried painting with your toddlers? Remember the mess they can create? How often do they tear the paper when they kept on painting on the same spot and that spot became soggy and weak? When doing a paint project with your toddlers, it’s good to use paper plates instead of drawing paper as paper plate is much thicker to prevent from tear resulting from too much handling.

Paint a paper plate :)
