Whilst browsing for baby sensory ideas, I spotted this pin for mess-free art – as I mentioned in my last blog post (here) I’m not ready for too much mess just yet! – and this seemed like fun. So off I trooped to Poundland to pick up some paint and I spent a few minutes setting up the paper, paint and cling film: a bit fiddly but nothing too strenuous. 
I set up the painting on a tray in the garden as it was a nice day and the baby’s high chair tray isn’t at quite the right height. 
Well let’s just say that Pinterest does make these things look so easy!
Firstly, the baby was more interested in the tray than squishing the paint around to make some beautiful art. Even me demonstrating didn’t help. 
Also, paint from Poundland… you certainly get what you pay for. It’s very watery so soaks through the paper. 
I’ve since seen a version where you use a zip-lock bag rather than cling film, and tape it to a window or high chair tray. That does seem fiddly but I may give it a go some day. I was able to make something from the ‘art’ though…

Haha I hope your baby does better than mine 😂 I’ve found some ideas for edible paint which I’m going to try out soon, so I’ll post about them at some point!

I like this, I’m going to do this as well! Might steal the paints from the Guides tonight… By that I mean I bought them paints a couple of years ago so I’ll take them back for a week…
