Painting with Water-Colours

Age: From 2 years old

Additional Information:
Today was a huge achievement for me, because today was the first time Joshua (2Y5M29D) painted with water-colours at home. This is a huge step for me, as I am such a neat-freak. I really cannot stand mess, but I am glad I have made progress :-)

Additional Comments:
Home-made paints is safe as it is made with edible materials, at the same time convenient (I don't have to run to the art shop) and economical. Use it for finger painting for toddlers less than 18 months old, or with fat brushes for toddlers more than 18 months old.
