our paints are accessible to Bear so that he may use them anytime he wants.
i don’t mind that.
it’s not unusual for a little paint to get on the table and floor.
i don’t mind that.
but then when he’s done, i have to clean up the unused paint.
that i mind…..
until i found the laziest easiest way to clean the paint tin.
we use a silicone mini-muffin tin to put the paint in. when Bear is done, i scoop up the globs of paint that are left and put them back in the bottles. then i take the messy muffin tin up on the fridge for the paint to dry.
ususally by later that night or the next day, the paint is dried and crumbling. then i can just flip the cups of the tin inside out and the dried paint flakes right out. super easy…. and yes, lazy. i’ll admit.

Love the idea of using a silicon muffin tray, will remember this if and when I ever let my kiddos use paints again!
HA, your so NOT lazy honey! That's just smart. Why do it the hard way? 😉
That is brilliant! I have some of those & I hate them for cooking
I'll have to remember this. Much easier, and it doesn't end up staining all your washcloths!
