Craft Time: 12 paintbrush alternatives

My younger daughter, especially, has loved to finger paint. On rainy afternoons when she was in preschool, she'd spend hours painting with her fingers and toes and, pretty soon, anything else we could find around the house.

This is a great activity that gives kids a chance to learn all about colors, shapes, textures and more. But, for my little one, she just had fun making a mess!

Together, we made a little video of 12 of her favorite things to paint with. One word of warning: You'll need to embrace the mess with this one! Be sure to use washable fingerpaints for the easiest clean up.
