Giddy Up: Neon Squeeze N Brush Paint Brush Review

Jul 23

 I came across these “No Mess” Squeeze N Brush Paint Brushes at the store this weekend. It only took me half a second to grab them and toss them in the cart once I read the “No Mess” and “Washable” tag line! Toodie loves to paint so I have been trying to find unique crafting products to give her something different to do. I thought that these were worth giving a try.

 This pack came with five bright colored neon paint tubes. Green, Pink, Yellow, Orange, and Blue were all included. On the back of the package they even tell you that blending the paint for more colors is possible. Tangerine, Turquoise, and Fuchsia can also be made!

  The Squeeze N Brush Paint Brushes save you from the mess, dirty water, and clean up that you would normally have with regular paint. The paint is already in the tube with a soft flexible brush on the end, making painting effortless. All you have to do is squeeze and brush on to your paper. The paint comes out very smooth and is also washable. With it’s thick bristles you can create pictures and also blend the colors together without them getting muddy. 

  I really liked the concept of the Squeeze N Brush paint brushes. It makes the simple act of painting fun without the daunting task of cleaning up afterwards. Another thing that stuck out to me when I purchased them were the colors. The variety of neon colors was a nice change from the typical color pallet you see offered in most paint sets. Toodie seemed to like them a lot and had no problem squeezing out the paint on her own with her tiny hands. When we we’re finished all we had to do was cap the tubes and put them away. No cleaning off dirty brushes or wiping up spilled paint. I am eager to see if they make these in other colors!

Toodie’s New Clubhouse!

Jun 18

A few weeks ago I got a great deal on the “Little Rascals Clubhouse” by Easy Playhouse on Sneakpeeq. These cardboard houses are easy to put together and are a blank canvas for children to color, paint, scribble, and design. There were only two large pieces that had to be assembled and they fit into one another easily.

After a quick assembly, I secured some of the edges with a hot glue gun just to make sure that they were held together well. I only did this for the roof because I noticed the flaps were loose and I wanted to be able to move the playhouse around the house without it falling apart each time. Each side of the house has a door opening and the opposite sides each have windows that open as well.

I set up the playhouse in our patio to begin painting. We started working on the roof together and I couldn’t wait to see how it would look when we were all finished! Toodie was just as excited and kept putting down her paint brush to go inside the little house.

She was very focused on her work…

But there’s always time to be silly!

Toodie did a great job painting on her own. Red was her color of choice and it’s no surprise that half way through, we used all of it up!


Not the most conventional way to paint but it sure get’s the job done! Toodie was taking a little break..

Since we started painting the roof first, it didn’t take very long to dry. To add a little sparkle I outlined the stars with Elmer’s glue and sprinkled chunky glitter to make them stand out.

Someone was going to need a nice long bath after this project! She didn’t seem to mind.. Artists get a little messy here and there.


This is the back view of the playhouse. It’s not as decorated as the front but when it’s completely dry I am sure Toodie will enjoy adding stickers to it.

6 empty bottles of Crayola paint, half a change of wardrobe, a siesta on the tile, one tired mommy, and a peanut butter sandwich later …. we have Toodie’s playhouse!

As time consuming as it was, I really enjoyed painting Toodie’s playhouse and making it perfect for her. This is a really great project if you have a little one who loves their own space. Now that Toodie has her own playhouse, maybe she will stop building a fort in my closet! 

Easy Playhouse also sells castles, crafty cottages, and their classic playhouse.
