I got this activity from mommyandme.com, a great resouce for kids fun. This activity is great because it gets you outside and it's free!
No preparation and no cleanup and your child will have a great time! There won't be many opportunities to give your toddler a paintbrush and the freedom to paint anything he desires. With a bucket of water and some paintbrushes, outside of course, your child can paint the house, the fence, his trike, or make designs and patterns on the sidewalk.
Step by Step:
1. Fill a bucket with water.
2. Make sure you don't put too much water in the bucket, you want it light enough so your child can carry it without your help.
3. Give him paint brushes, roller, sponges, or anything you can think of that makes for fun painting.
4. If your child paints on the sidewalk, point out how his painting disappears because the water has dried.
5. Stress the fact that this is an OUTSIDE activity using water instead of paint.
Materials:
Small plastic bucket with handles
Paint brushes of various sizes
Paint roller
