Materials
Ziploc bag, gallon size or bigger
Construction paper, cut to fit inside the bag
3 or 4 tempera paint colors of your choice
Packing tape
Directions
Insert the construction paper in the Ziploc bag. Add a squirt of each of the paint colors you’ve selected. Carefully zip the bag, eliminating as much air as possible without disturbing the paint. Use the packing tape to securely tape the bag on all four sides to the floor. Set your baby in front of the bag and encourage him to use his hands to spread the paint around. Lightly “pat-pat-pat” the bag yourself to give him the idea! When he’s finished “painting”, take the bag, with paper inside, and tape it to a low window. It’s really quite interesting with the light from the window coming through, and your baby can spread the paint some more on a vertical surface!
