Wind a large rubberband around the nozzle of the soap dispenser so that when the students push it down, it only goes down about half way. This gives them half a squirt instead of a full squirt which is too much for washing small hands. Paint: My second favorite is adding a squirt of liquid soap to each paint container before the students begin painting. Extending Paint: (Submitted by Kay) Not only does the adding of liquid soap to paint help the cleanup, but the adding of some liquid starch seems to extend the paint's smoothness and often all I have to do is add some water when the paint runs out instead of adding more paint. Paint Pans: I use left-over Lean Cuisine or Weight Watcher frozen entree pans to distribute paint to my students for painting.
