The invitation for painting with real tools is simple. I re-used the box from the MLL's glow-in-the-dark session. The library already has painting tools and trays. I did use washable tempera paint as I anticipated it dripping on the floor and being spread with little feet.
The lab lasts for two hours and the box painting activity had participants for the entire time!
I used two entire bottles of tempera paint. We put the box out in the children's section for everyone to admire throughout the rest of the month. I love hearing the excited voices coming from the stacks, "I did that!"

I love this and you've inspired me, we've used real brushes in the past to paint with water but this year we're going to get the real tools out.
