Even babies can participate - paint their feet or hands on a platter, a clock, or a coffee mug. Young children can also do handprints or finger paint; the paints rinse off with water.

Just cruise down the aisles at Michaels Arts & Crafts Store and you can't help but be inspired by some of the projects that you can do at home with the kids. Sometimes it's a real lifesaver to stock-up ahead of time on project materials for those long rainy day afternoons.
