You can't have grandkids without an easel! My grandchildren were
painting at their easel by the time they were two and a half. Toys R Us
has reasonably priced easels. Water color paints (like they use in
kindergarten) and brushes can be bought at a crafts store. Here in
Northern California that would be Michael's. I bought a big roll of
brown paper which I cut to size and tape to their easel with masking
tape. They wear Granddads old shirts with the sleeves cut shorter and
after we ruined a pair of shoes, plastic bags on their feet. When they
were smaller, they chose three colors to work with, too many colors end
up looking like mud. Our easel has two sides, one for each grandchild.
On each side I put a small table which holds water, a rag, their choice
of paints in paper cups and brushes. No grandchild wants leave our
house until they have painted a picture. We get to keep some of them
and have a special place where we display them. |

If there is more than one child, you
will need to express enthusiasm for each painting, even if the quality
varies. (Betsy B.) |
