Thankfully, he's like me and hates messes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572985 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 07:31:06 +0000 mediagirl 2572985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so lazy, I hate setting it up and cleaning it up at the end. My husband sets up painting events with her and she LOVES to paint. </p> [attach=251/16/o985fv.450x600.20160605_121149.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572974 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 07:28:06 +0000 chopsuey 2572974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids paint with watercolors a few times a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572962 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 07:23:43 +0000 Ajsmommy 2572962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, DD goes through phases where she'll want to paint every night and then not for a week or so and then she'll pick it back up again. I actually don't think it's that bad to pick up/clean up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572949 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 06:57:51 +0000 caterw 2572949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD paints in art class... we rent and have carpet so we aren't doing it at home lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572925 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 05:34:36 +0000 ValentineMommy 2572925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, unfortunately. I'm an artist (painter) too, so I hope one day he decides to sit still long enough to enjoy it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572825 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 21:04:10 +0000 erinpye 2572825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course! Every day! My 4 year old is especially obsessed with painting and drawing, so I just let her have at it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572730 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 20:02:20 +0000 Boogs 2572730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not nearly as often as I should because I hate the clean-up. With the nice weather, I should attempt to do some outdoor paint projects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572677 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 19:24:05 +0000 FaithFertility 2572677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Also I give her a bucket of water and a paint brush and she "paints" the fence outside :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572670 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 19:13:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2572670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently let her paint her first shirt with puff paint. She was so excited for the outcome. </p> [attach=1506/16/o977as.337x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572663 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 19:06:37 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2572663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time.<br /> I bought a second easel so she can paint outdoors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572660 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 19:00:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 2572660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Occasionally. Sometimes I don't feel like the set up and clean up but she enjoys it. I only have her do it in her booster seat at the counter- she's not too neat and tidy. </p> <p>@Cherrybee: that's so cute that she knows what colors to mix! We have talked about it but I don't think she gets it yet. We will not have glitter inside for a long long time though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572568 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 17:06:17 +0000 GreenThumb 2572568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, the easel is always set up in the kitchen with watercolors available at all times. And we often use regular paints inside, too, or bring the easel out on the deck if I'm not up to clean-up. DD is 3 and actually pretty neat and tidy. She loves to paint!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572552 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 16:47:22 +0000 Cherrybee 2572552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, absolutely. We paint, stick, use glitter, the works. We've done it three days in a row now. She adores it. She knows which colours to mix to get purple and green now! </p> [attach=2581/16/o970iz.337x600.WP_20160621_13_42_11_Pro.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572475 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 16:08:26 +0000 jhd 2572475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some crayola washable paint pots last week so LO could paint some gifts for Father's Day. He loved it! I didn't think he would based on his interest in crayons, watercolor paints, and paint with water, but I think this will become one of our regular activities. I put him in his booster seat at the table with just a diaper and then put him in the bathtub afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572472 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 16:06:39 +0000 autumnlove 2572472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, all the time! They love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572456 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 15:55:43 +0000 sandy 2572456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She used to paint all the time but at 4.5 she's more into markers now. I like the crayola little pots of paint and we put a brush in each pot to keep the colors from getting mixed. I use an art smock and her IKEA easel and put it on the hardwood so it's easy to clean </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572447 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 15:50:54 +0000 snowjewelz 2572447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at home; not ready to deal with the mess. She paints at daycare so I know she gets her fill haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-paint#post-2572442 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 15:48:23 +0000 Bao 2572442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girls started painting at a really young age, and paint at least a few times a week. Especially my almost 4 year old, she's obsessed! I try and talk her into water colors over regular paint just because of the mess but I don't always win;) </p> <p>Do you let your LO paint often? </p>
