It is a much more presentable look. It looks like true are. I just stick them up with double sided removable stickies. You can also use this on foam sheets. It is a much more presentable look.

This painting activity is a good experience, not really one meant to last!! Glad your child enjoyed it.

I'd love to try this but am living in a very anti-bug household. An answer from anyone who has done this would be greatly appreciated.

I loved how vibrant the colors were and how shiny the paint stayed when dried. The colors mixed beautifully instead of turning a muddy brownish green as most of my toddlers mixing experiments do. However, a few days after small dots started to appear on the paint, what I assumed was mold. Every day more and more spots appeared until the painting was covered. They weren't fuzzy like typical mold I've seen but the growth and circular patterned reminded me of it. You could still see the coors but the shine was gone. I'm still not sure what it was but it bummed me out. I was about to suggest this painting method to my preschool but I don't want to send the kids home with moldy artwork. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on what it was? Thanks! I made this paint with my 2 year old and we both loved it.

I would like to post a link to it as I am rebuilding my website and adding a "fun stuff" page with art projects for kids. If you'd prefer I don't add a link please let me know. Thanks!
