I'm not sure what kinds of paint I've used before. Just something
washable.
One tip that I've found to control the mess - Instead of dipping her
hands in the paint, get a 1 inch paint brush and paint the palm of her
hand. It wastes less paint, is far less messy, and just as fun
because it tickles.
Have fun!
