If I'm not feeling particularly up to setting up a project and the clean up involved afterwards, I grab a big bowl of tap water and a couple of paintbrushes and set it out in the courtyard. The babes love it and spend an hour or so just "painting" the ground.
Ooh I remember doing that all summer long when my oldest was a tiny baby. So fun! THey don't even realise it's "just" water most of the time :) In the same vein, water and sponges to "wash cars/outdoor toys" is always a hit with my kiddos.
