Paint in Bags

This was an easy and fun idea I saw somewhere in passing on Facebook or Pinterest.  I put a few different color finger paints in zip lock baggies (added some extra protection by taping over the zipper and top with clear packing tape) and let the boys mush and mix the colors around to their hearts content.  I gave them each a couple Q-tips to "draw" lines and shapes in the paint and they thought it was so much fun.  We wrote the letters in their names and they worked on tracing them (Owen liked this the most).  Something different to keep them entertained at the kitchen table while preparing dinner!
