Looks like so much fun! Have you tried putting out toy cars and tractors? Kids love "driving" them through the paint. Love the pictures! Looks like so much fun!

But for water paints, when I worked in a preschool, we used to put the water in an ice cube tray so they would have separate spots for each color and also it didn't tip over like paper cups do. I also have a great recipe for playdough (cooked with cream of tartar) and we would add powered kool-aid for color and scent, also mint extract for scent. But I'm guessing you already have that recipe. Let me know if you don't. I LOVE cutting up playdough with little kid scissors. I don’t have any better ideas for finger paint, you’ve mastered it!

They're so adorable! Lately my kids have been using lots of bubble wrap to make prints, and things like yarn dragged through the paint, feathers and pine cones, and the foam "trim" size paint rollers from the hardware store. I'm sure you guys have done all of those and more! We love those colorful girls! They’re so adorable!
