Getting Creative with Paint!

I recently bought my son some of those sponges that are on a stick (I think they're intended to be used for stenciling on your walls?) . I thought they looked like fun to paint with and they cost less than 50 cents a piece. I thought I'd give some ideas of different things I have used in the past instead of a paint brush.

sponges
veggies/fruits
hands
feet
q tips
cotton balls
cookie cutters
straws
cardboard tubes
spoons
forks
spools
bubble wrap
eye droppers
spray bottles
cars
marbles
golf balls
toothbrushes
cooked spaghetti
yarn or string
different bottles/cups
bubbles
feathers
fly swatters
dishwashing brushes
toothpicks
loofa/body puff

Also, you can do different types of paint: tempra, watercolors, poster paints. You can add glitter, sand, dirt to add texture. You can add flour or starch to thicken the paint. You can add corn syrup to make it shiny. You can add a little water to make it more liquid.

There are so many options for painting!! Get creative and enjoy!
