Muffin Tin Palette

When your child wants to release his or her inner Jackson Pollack, here's an easy way to keep the paints under control.  Get out a muffin tin and pour one color into each cup.  If you don't fill all the spaces, fill the remaining ones with water and/or leave a couple empty for mixing colors.  It works well because the cups are large enough to hold a fair amount of paint, and the muffin tin itself is stable enough that it's (almost) impossible to knock over.
