Tried this on Friday as well. i had it set as 'placemats' for when my kids woke up, they had their snack, drink and 'finger-paint placemat' ready to go. My only complaint is that I put too much paint in the bags and not only did it waste quite a bit of paint, but they could hardly see the white paper underneath, as the paint kept squishing around. Oh well, I will try it again and this time with the larger freezer bags. I only had the medium sized ones at the time. (bigger than a sandwich bag though!)
