That's it. Then we have tons of paint brushes, roller brushes, sponges and squirt bottles. They use the water to paint the driveway and sometimes themselves, or "paint" their bikes as a way to clean them. Then the water dries and the designs go away and they go paint some more.<br /><br />It usually entertains all the kids on our street for quite a while.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185549963848472081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-77579742556012443702010-04-15T06:59:21.074-07:002010-04-15T06:59:21.074-07:00For stronger cereal boxes (potentially strong enou...For stronger cereal boxes (potentially strong enough for preschoolers to sit on) stuff them with paper.

There are many different configurations the one I have gets rid of latex, enamel, linseed oil and stencil paint. It's number 5, but there are other numbers the get rid of other things. Love your blog, can't wait for my monkey to get a bit older so we can have some good dirty fun too! <br />Best to you.<br /><br />MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-89296417161980197962010-04-12T16:15:56.837-07:002010-04-12T16:15:56.837-07:00Love all the paint outside ideas.

Like you said, they wash out very nicely. I've also been mixing dry tempura with water to a pretty runny consistency and then letting them spray it from cheap dollar store spray bottles. They love changing from squirt to stream and seeing how far or wide they can squirt. We've also found that painting the patio concrete or the the plastic play table outside works really well as they can just be hosed off when we're done.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11524829769763928354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-1993449371973082122010-04-12T04:20:31.215-07:002010-04-12T04:20:31.215-07:00This looks like so much fun.

I love that they were allowed to paint on the plastic equipment ... absolutely no harm done to any of it.<br /><br />We are going to get our children to paint some unusually shaped logs to be used as 'totem poles' beside the dry creek bed we are creating in our Hush Garden ... can't wait to see what designs they come up with!<br /><br />:) :)Play for Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475920387209134195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-88825943455142435382010-04-11T18:22:25.525-07:002010-04-11T18:22:25.525-07:00Sophia: As far as putting everything back together...Sophia: As far as putting everything back together goes, in this instance my laziness paid off, because it rained heavily today and I don't even have to go hose off the climbing structure now. Whoooo! Quite often though, the kids are more than happy to be let loose with scrubbers and buckets of water to do half the work for me ;)<br /><br />Tina, Love the painting before a bath idea! Unfortunately I was a fool and let the kids use what I thought were bath crayons on the tile in there. Turns out they were oil pastels and now I can't figure out how to get the colour out of the grout. I may have to re-grout before we move.

We end up painting her and the wall also! Once she is tired of painting, we run the shower for a few minutes, then run her a bath. <br /><br />Great activity for a rain day when the house is warm (otherwise she gets cold standing naked in the bathtub).Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611764295297526639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-6740328001831485832010-04-11T11:27:20.638-07:002010-04-11T11:27:20.638-07:00Boy, I wish I could be a little more like you.

I especially like the painting the underside of sheets on hot days idea, and we have a couple of climbing structures that would do well with some decoration. <br /><br />I've got a bunch of boxes I was hoping to turn wrong side out to make blocks like that with, so I'd love to see how you make arch pieces. <br /><br />We haven't gotten much less orthodox than the sidewalk, so far, but rocks are definitely on my list of things to paint - and that rock you photographed looks particularly cool.MaryAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253503049272771754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-68417451484741643902010-04-11T04:27:01.726-07:002010-04-11T04:27:01.726-07:00I'm really enjoying all your ideas.
