How to make it all about the art, less about cleaning up

Making art is a creative and healthy way for kids to express their emotions. It helps them turn their imagination into reality and improves motor skills and creativity. Having your kids’ art around the house is beautiful and makes them proud of what they have created.

 

  • Place MÅLA drawing paper on the tiles or glass around the tub or shower. Use enough paper to really get creative.
  • Dilute water-based paints in the muffin tin or apply paint directly from the tube – or offer both!
  • Protect clothing with a long sleeve MÅLA apron.
  • Hand your child the brushes and let them create!
  • Remove the art when it's finished. Wash away any remaining paint on the surfaces. Being a painter's parent has never been easier.

The art of going wild

Never say “no” again with this mess-proof set up: MÅLA drawing paper on the bathroom wall, a long sleeve MÅLA apron, and all the MÅLA paints and brushes needed to create the next little masterpiece.
