It probably goes without saying; a three-year-old squirting medicine droppers full of paint around the kitchen can be a very dangerous thing! Prepping your space before you get started is the key to enjoying this one! I drape the area in a combo of garbage bags, shower curtain pieces and newspaper.
Next dilute tempera paint with water. I went with about one part paint to two parts water. You can experiment to see what dilution works best for your droppers and paper.
Then tape your paper down. I opted to tape multiple sheets of paper close together on a well covered wall.
Then let the paint shooting begin!
For some little ones it might be a challenge to figure out how to use this new tool. You might need to help them with the first few squirts or fill the droppers for them throughout the project.
