Potholders for kids

[Argonor]

Just a little thing I just came up with, as my girls (8 and 5) get more and more interested in sitting in at the table with a brush, and a pair of trainers of mine still bear the marks of one such session (Mishima Red):



By no means perfect, I would prefer round ones, but I don't have the proper tools for making that, and I wanted to try out the idea (my girls are going to help me splash paint on some old 40K 2nd Ed. plastic orks for use as 'Marauders' in a test of Mantics 'Warpath' game during this summer vacation - am frantically cleaning moldlines atm...).

Interesting idea. I'm not sure those would help young Rocco unless they were solidly bolted to the table, but for most children I would think it would be a big help!

While smaller, I have been using the some of the plastic bases/holders that the WizKids Heroclix Capt. America figures were shipped in. They are just the right size to hold a Reaper Pro Paints pot real snug fit) and the new GW Citadel paint pots (slightly looser fit then the Reaper paint Pots, but still they are a semi snug fit). I am going to try and see if I can get some more to also use as small palettes for mixing and to hold bits that the paint is drying on (like the small pill bottles I made from a toothpick), that one side with some paint not on wont be a big deal.
