When it is time to paint get out your empty egg carton! When using the inexpensive small bottles of paint from the craft stores you can squeeze small amounts of different colors into each egg section. That way the paint does not run together. It is also neater because they can wipe the brush on the side of the colored egg section they are using so there is not too much paint on the brush and it does not drip.

When I am working on my painting crafts, I find it easy to use several paints at once by using an old styrofoam egg carton. I put each color in each section and it saves me time and most importantly, cleanup.
