I let my kids paint and make creative messes all the time.  We just have a few guidelines.  We always work at the table and we cover up clothes with smocks.  I was inspired by PB&J to design this great Paint Smock to nurture those creative messes!  The smock is shown here on my 3 year old but it can even fit my 10 year old so it’s made to last for awhile. 

The smock is fully lined, has the word “PAINT” appliqued to the front, and three big pockets perfect for holding supplies.
