Beginning on the first day of February, give your child the opportunity to choose a pencil and read them their task. They can be anything that you feel fits your family or their age. Since Toodie is younger I went with simple acts that she would not only enjoy but also understand at her age. The whole point of this activity is to share love and kindness. This is a fun way to countdown the days until Valentine’s Day!

I came across these “No Mess” Squeeze N Brush Paint Brushes at the store this weekend. It only took me half a second to grab them and toss them in the cart once I read the “No Mess” and “Washable” tag line! Toodie loves to paint so I have been trying to find unique crafting products to give her something different to do. I thought that these were worth giving a try.
This pack came with five bright colored neon paint tubes. Green, Pink, Yellow, Orange, and Blue were all included. On the back of the package they even tell you that blending the paint for more colors is possible. Tangerine, Turquoise, and Fuchsia can also be made!
The Squeeze N Brush Paint Brushes save you from the mess, dirty water, and clean up that you would normally have with regular paint. The paint is already in the tube with a soft flexible brush on the end, making painting effortless. All you have to do is squeeze and brush on to your paper. The paint comes out very smooth and is also washable. With it’s thick bristles you can create pictures and also blend the colors together without them getting muddy.
I really liked the concept of the Squeeze N Brush paint brushes. It makes the simple act of painting fun without the daunting task of cleaning up afterwards. Another thing that stuck out to me when I purchased them were the colors. The variety of neon colors was a nice change from the typical color pallet you see offered in most paint sets. Toodie seemed to like them a lot and had no problem squeezing out the paint on her own with her tiny hands. When we we’re finished all we had to do was cap the tubes and put them away. No cleaning off dirty brushes or wiping up spilled paint. I am eager to see if they make these in other colors!

After her moon was formed, dried, and lit – Toodie had a new nightlight for her room. As you can see, it gave off a fairly good amount of light. Using the tea light to brighten the Moon formation was a genius idea! Makes me wonder why I never thought of doing something like this before?! Very cool I must say..
