Monet in Mustard

Did you ever finger paint in elementary school? Did you ever use condiments as your choice of paint? Well, now you can do both! For this date night activity you’ll need:

-newspaper

-paper/construction paper

-your choice of condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, ranch, BBQ sauce, etc.)

-table (optional)

First, you’ll line your table or floor with newspaper so that any excess condiments that don’t make it onto paper won’t leave a mess everywhere else. Next, you’ll place the paper that you’ll be painting the condiments on down on the newspaper. Now, all that’s left to do is to squirt different condiments on your paper and smear them around, making whatever picture or art masterpiece you want.

Your Daily R&R Tip! (Relationship Reconnection):

Not only will this activity bond you and your spouse together because of the fun memories you can create and share later on, but it will also bond you emotionally as well. If you would like, for your ‘painting’ you can draw or depict your favorite date that you’ve ever been on with your spouse and have them guess what it was, using the drawing as a clue, and then switch. Then you can take turns and discuss why those dates were your favorites and what you liked most about them.
