Mess Free Finger Paint

To keep a preschooler amused and creative, you'll need a gallon press-lock bag and a couple different colors of finger paint. Put a tablespoon of each color in the bag - the more color, the more fun. Zip the bag closed and show them how to take their fingers and swirl to make designs with hand. Show them how to combine colors to make different colors. The kids will stay at it and come back to it. No finger paint mess!

Flour, water, and food color works as well.
