R just happened to be coloring with a yellow crayon when I remembered that we had not completed our open ended art project for this week so I jumped on the opportunity and put out some paint.
Whenever C and R see yellow, red, and blue they yell out, "primary colors". That makes me feel good so I tend to give them plenty of opportunities to make me proud.
I also provided cotton swabs and sponges and let the painting begin. They happily painted right over their crayon marks to see the result.
This is as open ended as it gets. A few supplies and no direction = art.

I've never thought of using the Q tips for painting. I really like that! They always look so sweet holding their pictures, creations and books.
LOVE the fact they know "primary colors" when they see them:-).
My kids LOVE painting with qtips. It almost completely turns into dot art which I think is so cool looking.
I like the q-tip idea! They look pretty proud of their creations!
How cute that they say, "primary colors!"
I like this - so self-directed and free. It's awesome that they know primary colors already.
Great idea, and I love their opened ended creations!
Great idea! Last week I "caught" my girls raiding my infrequently-used eye shadow and painting each other with Q-tips loaded full of cocoa shimmer! Next time, I'll suggest paint and paper instead. :)
Thanks for the info on the Open Ended Art sharing - I'll be sure to check it out.
painting with qtips can be so much fun! its great to change their materials (like brushes etc) to let them try something new. Great job!
we love qti[ painting
