Washable paint, empty egg cartons, paint brushes and paper towels...

We've had several rainy days this month, so I had to get creative about indoor play. I made Norah strip down, so she didn't dirty her clothes, and I let her paint in the tub. ...This worked like a charm. She'd stay in the tub for hours at a time, painting, singing to herself... When all the fun was over and paint was used up, we'd wait and show her work to Dad, of course, then I'd have to scrub the tub and shower walls. But, that was a good thing, really... 'cause I had a hard time remembering how long ago I'd done that on a regular basis anyway.
