Materials:
1. easy painters/markers
2. clear masking tape
3. large paper
4. toy trucks (used lego trucks)
I taped the easy painters onto the trucks and Caleb made “tire” tracks on the paper.
I let Caleb choose which colors to put on the trucks.
Being a trucker is hard work!

Caleb loves to paint.
But sometimes, I think he is too neat.
So I encourage him to be a little messy…he is a boy after all! Lol! 😉
Messy doesn’t really have to be a pain.
Hate clean ups?
Paint in the bathroom/shower!
This way, it’s easier to clean up and your child can go wild painting the walls and in Caleb’s case — the bathroom floor too. 🙂
Bubble Painting Materials:
1. 1/2 cup water
2. water container (I used a deeper container so Caleb could blow the bubbles as high as he wanted)
3. food coloring 1-2 drops (go crazy with the colors!)
4. straws (I used standard restaurant straws, it would’ve been much better to use the really long straws though)
5. dishwashing liquid 1-2 drops
6. newspaper
7. tray
8. paper
This fun activity took 15-20 minutes.
Caleb used the straw to stir the water, food coloring, and dishwashing liquid together. He chose red for his first color.
He blew into the liquid mixture and bubbles instantly appeared. Sometimes, he forgot to blow the liquid and “drank” it instead. Not to worry, he spit it out right away. Hence, the need for the newspapers and tray to catch the stray liquid and some spit as well. Haha!
I let him try to use the bubble making tool but he liked using the straws better.
We changed the colors of the bubbles four times.
Here it is yellow.
Once the bubbles were high enough, put the paper on top of the container to catch the colored bubbles.
I couldn’t let Caleb have all the fun!
I had to try it as well 🙂
Here are the results of Caleb’s bubble painting.
