Honestly, we don't have much mess at all, a couple of old nappies deals with it (I mean cloth nappies of course, can you imagine trying to clean the floor with disposables?).

I can see that with a slightly shiny paper where they take a while to soak in you could move it around and get drips running everywhere. We'll have to do this! Thanks, that’s a great idea.

It's actually at the point where if they ask to paint or do anything like that they just strip off. Someone pointed out in one of my posts a few weeks ago that they worked with migrants who often came from very impoverished places so they didn't play with food. I can completely get that, and I know what you mean about waste. We actually buy things like shaving cream as part of the art supplies (homebrand!), we don't touch hubby's so I think of them as consumables.

The T13 meme is great, you can write on anything you like and I find it a challenge to come up with 13.
