Participants: Ash, Eli, and myself

Difficulty: Easy
Prep: 5 minutes - cover painting surface with newspaper, put out a few sheets of plain paper, gather dinos, and squirt finger paints on newspaper
Mess: It turned into finger painting, so a 6 out of 10
Cleanup: Not too bad, dinosaurs can go through the dishwasher, and I convinced Ash not to touch anything with his paint-covered hands.
Age Range: All Ages

Verdict: I'll do this one again! I like that it's all ages, easy, and kept Ash busy for a good 20 minutes. After the initial making of tracks, there was imagination play with the dinos and painting the dinos, followed by free-form finger painting and a little brush work.

I have to hand it to the blogger, Tina, she did admit that the project got messy (even if she did only show the pretty pictures). And she did it with her daycare/sons!
