I needed to give Lydia something super fun (but not messy) to do while I did some chores around the kitchen. Since she's never painted before, I got out some paint brushes and water, and let her go to town. She had no idea she was even missing the paint, so it turned out to be the best activity for my purposes.

And I'm really glad I didn't give her paint this time because this is what she decided to do when the paint brushes got old!
