Reddit mentions: The best tempera & poster paint for kids

Legos or Magnatiles and a swoop bag to keep them in (parents will love it).

These paint sticks are amazing.

If they like games, hedbanz jr. or zingo can be played by all ages.

The 3 and 4 year olds will love these books by Bethan Woollvin. I also recommend the Princess in Black series.

For the first Mother's Day, I hand-made a picture with my 7 month old daughter's help.

Materials Needed: A few sheets of different colored size A3 paper. Crayola Washable Kid's Paint, a small paint brush, scissors, and some crayons. A picture frame is optional(Ikea Frame).

Directions: There are 2 steps in creating it. Step one is doing the whole left side by yourself and making sure it is dry in time. Then on Mother's Day present the unfinished artwork to the mother. Step 2 involves working with the mother to create the whole right side. Biggest hand goes first, and then smaller and smaller. Add some extra flair to it and win Father of the Year!

I hope this art inspires you Dads to make something great for Mother's Day.

OK. First, air might do the trick. most people have something like this:

It's just a small air bladder that pushes air through a syringe end. This should clear most of the ink from your nib while it's still wet. The kit I linked has a small amount of nib cleaner.

If the ink dries, you want to use water first. If that doesn't work, there is Rapido-eze. You want to follow the dilution directions and use small syringes designed to clean these pens.

Second, you can put the solution in an ultrasonic cleaner and do that. i don't do this every day with mine if I'm doing something over a weekend or something. Only if the nib refuses to cooperate, or i've been going at it for over 10 hours with a particular nib. Any ultrasonic cleaner for jewelry will work. You can get them cheap off amazon or ebay.

Some people just use a hint of dish soap instead of the cleaning solution. YMMV.

​

Also, I saw somewhere else you just incorporate a mistake. You don't need to with this stuff. Just put some on a q-tip and lightly blot the ink and it should come off the mylar.

Cleaned it up all nice! I got rid of a notebook that I didn't need because I already had one- I just needed another color!

I separated my kids toys from mine. =]

Tagging /u/quitelike !

I would love [this] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004UBH2/?coliid=I1M4E7MG13JS3R&colid=1EITSLPJPBRC5&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it) because I just got kid paintbrushes from /u/quitelike and now I need paints!

When my youngest was 2-5, her favorite activity in the universe was finger painting.

So you start with some art smocks, add a plastic tablecloth, and finally, washable finger paints.

This can be done inside or outside and really is fairly easy to clean up. I would swear kids love it because it's like being given permission to be dirty and messy.

Go buy some normal containers of paint like this in a couple colors. We had green, blue, red, and yellow. Then lay a whiteboard down flat and pour the paint on it in little strips and run toothpicks and brushes through the colors to make the cool patterns. The whiteboard lets you move the paint around so you can layer them and fix mistakes. And you can mix the paints to create all the other orange and purple colors.

Blacklights, man. Blacklights. Because blacklight balloons exist. And black light paint exists.

Doctor Who lights!

I'm not exactly sure what this is, but it's called a Wizard Stick so obviously you have to have it just for the sake of asking people if they want to see your wizard stick.

something like these?

The solution is only two clicks away.

For water, I use one of those spill-proof painting cups for kids. You can get them for about $2 at JoAnn's or Michael's and I have personally knocked mine over several times with no spills.
