This is really easy. Its water and food colouring in an ice cube tray or any other small portioned container and some small paint brushes. Kids often paint with big gloopy paint and chunky brushes, so this is a nice alternative to explore small delicate painting (which develops fine motor skills and coordination) and aids in artistic creativity. Its also a great way to explore colour mixing as the colours bleed and blend perfectly, so leave a few cubes free in your tray to allow for this if you want.

There was some olive oil on one of the brushes which creeped into our paint, which looks lovely but doesn't help with painting much! |

This will be good for us. I have a little who only wants to paint with purple and then we have all kinds of rejected colors left over.

I love how simple this is - it looks like great fun. My son is also much more into the experimentation of mixing colors than actual painting these days.
