I am so happy to being doing a guest post today for Brittany of the wonderful Love, Play, Learn blog. Brittany is starting an exciting new series called Raising Tots: Mom to Mom Parenting Series, and I am lucky enough to be the first!
For this series, I wrote about my journey learning to embrace the mess that comes with painting with my little Monkey. Although we all know messy crafts are good for our little ones, it can be hard for many of us to really enjoy doing it.
Today I share my top ten tips for getting comfortable with that mess, so head on over to Love, Play, Learn and see what we’ve been up to!
Raising Tots: Top Ten Tips for Painting with Your Toddler
This post has been shared at Enchanted Homeschooling Mom’s Enchanted Thursday, the Kids Co-op, Chicken Scratch’s What’s Cluckin’, Science Sparks’ Fun Sparks, Dawn’s Disaster’s Super Sunday Sync, and Natural Mothers Network’s Seasonal Celebration Sunday.
Will definitely go check it out! Both my kids absolutely loved painting and by the time they were done, there literally was paint everywhere!
Yes, that paint just wants to go everywhere, doesn’t it? Hope you enjoy the post!
I will hop on over and read the article. Thank you for linking up this week to my Enchanted Thursdays Blog Hop!

Thanks, Dawn! Glad to be a part of it!
Omg, I need this. I’m just like you. I’m laid back, except when it comes to messy. Didn’t know till I had kids. Don’t like wet, sticky, muddy, painty – none of those. This will be helpful because I’ve avoided all paint projects unless it’s a nice day outside where they can freely destroy the ground or drive way. stopping by from Dawn’s Disaster.
Lol, Kate, I am glad I am not the only one! Have fun and thanks for stopping by!
I’ll have to check it out sometime, my little girl would love it.
I’m stopping by from the Sunday Sync. I’d love for you to visit my blog at
