The BEST idea!
I'm not sure who gave me this idea...but I think it was my cute cousin Sarah. It really came in handy this week after the boys and I watched a neighbor's house get painted. Since that day they have been asking to 'paint' the house. In the deep recesses of my mind I remember someone (see above) telling me that one of the best things is to give kids a paint brush and water. The water changes, at least temporarily, the appearance of whatever gets painted.
Will and Walker spent almost an hour outside painting yesterday! They were thrilled. They were even more thrilled when the water dried and they realized they had to 'repaint' something!

Looks like fun! I love finding an activity that requires such little mom involvement, yet can entertain for such a long time. Leave it to Sarah to share such a cute activity idea.
Great idea! I will have to keep that in mind when the boys are driving me insane!
That's a good idea! They look like they are having fun. Future painters?
I totally remember doing this when I was a little kid too!
we did this at a Gymboree class a couple of years ago--are your kids wearing shorts? So not fair!
as soon as i have weather warm enough to do it in, you can be sure our brick house will be "painted".
I loved doing this when I was little! This is an awesome idea.
