I got this idea off pinterest of course. You put the paper, paint and whatever else inside a ziplock bag and tape it down on the table so the child can paint all day without making a mess and without it drying out.

Next time I will use a two gallon bag as it was hard to get the paper in, but then it was even harder to get it out. The paper is weakened by the paint and wants to rip and since it sticks I had to put my fingers on it to get it out.

All ready to go. I added doilies for interest. 

Taped down to her table as a surprise after her nap.

I showed her how to use keys and other things to make different lines.

All done hanging on the fridge. 

PS I think in an earlier post about bath paints I said I was going to try a different recipe? I did, and they were terrible. The first one, shaving cream and food coloring was great. The second one baby shampoo, corn starch and food coloring was no good. They didn't cover as well and they made the tub so slippery that she almost did a face first fall onto the edge of the tub. Never again.

They do have a consistency that is interesting floating in the water. That can be a tabletop science project later on.
