Dive in

• Lay a sheet of plastic on the ground in an area outdoors
• Dress your baby in some old clothes or even just a nappy is fine
• Place some paper and a few flat sponge brushes or large paint brushes in front of bubs and start by spreading some paint onto the paper first just to show him – then after that, you can let him go for it!
