Around here, we seriously LOVE paint. We go through gallons and gallons of it. Sometimes we buy it, and sometimes we make it. I know I have written a little about paint before, and I have a fabulous Pinterest Board. However, today I thought I would give you an AMAZING list of 101 Tools that you can use with paint so that painting never gets boring!
Thank you to all of the wonderful bloggers in the Preschool Plus Blogger Network and the Kid's Blogger Network for their willingness to share and contribute to this round-up! Please note that all 101 ideas are linked to a blog post. Simply click on the item (even if there is not a photo featured) and you will be directed to the tutorial/post with more information.

Giving children options and choice when determining what and how to create promotes their creativity. Additionally, it gives them personal power, and shows them that you have confidence in their abilities. Using various tools in different ways encourages children to think differently, and ultimately gives them permission to be more creative in their work!
