plastic bag painting

A got/ pinched this idea from a fellow crafty mum's post on Facebook. I thought it was a brilliant idea and a great mess free way to keep the kids entertained while getting dinner sorted ( far nicer than turning on the tv which is my usual routine!). Just cut the paper to the size of the self closing bag, add paint, slide it inside, seal the bag and let them squish and push the paint around. As my kids are a bit older I had to remind them to be gentle and not rip the bag with their fingernails. I'm sure this works much better with bigger bags- I just wanted to see how it worked so used the bags I had available.

This would be a nice way to make a gift card and wrapping paper for a small pressie.
