Springtime in Colorado is always unpredictable. The day may begin at 70 and sunny and turn windy and cold by noon. So, when a play date at the park is always threatened by a chance of a shower or even a snowstorm I find it imperative to my well being to always have a back up plan. Throw down a piece of paper on the kitchen floor with some paints and brushes and you’ve bought yourself at least a half hour of pure kid bliss. Better yet let them stick their toes in it and let them paint an entire piece with their feet!
Clementine Studios based out of Boulder makes the most amazing eco friendly and non-toxic art supplies for kids. The hues in their paints and molding clay are incredible like those crayon colors I always gravitated towards as a child. Even their packaging is produced from recycled and reusable materials. So, when your child decides to find out exactly what the paint tastes like you can feel better knowing that a little organic defoamer (aka vegetable oil) never hurt anyone.
