latest craze around here

Are you ready to hear about the latest craze around here?

Painting.

And when I say "around here", I mean in our house, not in Saskatchewan. People have been painting in Saskatchewan for years.

• And Crayola washable fingerpaints:

• That shiny fingerpainting paper is nice to use, too.



• If your child does not want to wear his new Buzz Lightyear art smock, you may also give him the option of painting shirtless.



• Use baby wipes to clean up messes along the way and to wipe hands before heading to the sink for a more thorough washdown.

Any other tips?
