Muffin tins and cookie sheets from @dollartree save my sanity when it comes to making art projects with my kids!

1️⃣ Using muffin tins to hold paint, beads, or other items helps cut down on mess, gives children clear boundaries, and makes clean up easy.

2️⃣ Using a cookie sheet as your work surface has the same benefits. No more worries about paint getting on the furniture. We also use these for kinetic sand and play doh!

🎨 Teaching art to your children doesn't always need to involve an art project! Get started with some excellent picture book biographies. These can be helpful even for older children who have outgrown picture books - there's often lots of back matter that can help launch further exploration and discovery!
