I painted it white, and I put it in Zoe’s room, and then Lisey’s, and then when I moved here, I brought it along and kept it in Lisey’s room. Sonia and I went to pick it up and I brought it home to sand and paint it. Definitely time for some fresh paint. That’s the beauty of painting!

And this would make a nice inexpensive Easter basket item! The Tote easily unfolds into a Coloring Mat Fold back again for quick storage. Color or paint and watch the colors magically appear on the special paper but not on skin, table, walls or floors. That is nearly 60% off the regular price of $15! Such a great deal!

I re-purpose them by painting the outsides white using ordinary acrylic wall paint and a brush. (I I paint them all white to create a more uniform look.) The paint is usually left over from home projects or from cans of mistake-paint bought from the hardware store for a dollar or two (or less).
