Art Projects with Toddlers? Use Crayola Washable No Drip Gel Paint

With three busy preschoolers in my home, it seems as though an artistic mess is always in the works. Play-doh, crayons, markers, coloring books, chalk, chalkboards, paper, and easels are available to my little budding Picassos throughout the day. And while I love offering them the chance to paint, the messy drips and the staining associated with most paint - even washable paint - has always made me cringe. This past Christmas, however, my two year old received Crayola Washable No Drip Gel Paint, and my cringing days have passed.

Crayola Washable No Drip Gel Paint is thicker than most paints, preventing it from running as most watercolors do. Anyone familiar with the toddler-watercolors combination knows the kind of soggy, jumbled mess a child can make on their paper. You don't have that with Crayola Washable No Drip Gel Paint, as it does not absorb as quickly into the paper. There is also less frustration from muddling of colors, as the paint maintains its brightness because of the thick consistency. The paint is also thick enough that spills are rarely an issue.

Aside from being easier to use than standard children's paint, why else do I love Crayola Washable No Drip Gel Paint? Because clean-up is a breeze. Each box of Crayola Washable No Drip Gel Paint is packaged in convenient tear-off strips; three strips in each package. Each strip contains six cells of color, with the perfect amount of paint in each cell. When your child is done using their Crayola Washable No Drip Gel Paints, you simply toss the strip and wash your brush (which is included in each set of paints). No more scrubbing containers of paint, or struggling to get unused paint back into the bottle!

Why will your child love Crayola Washable No Drip Gel Paint? The colors are vibrant and vivid, allowing for endless creativity and ease in creating their artistic masterpieces. They also know it doesn't matter if they make a little mess. Why? Because in terms of washability, it is one of the best paints there is for children. And after the messes my children have made with their Crayola Washable No Drip Gel Paint, I should know!
