I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.” I’m not a huge fan of messy art projects. But I also understand that they’re valuable and useful for Squeaker. She seems to like sensory activities and any opportunity that she can get to make a mess. So when I invited some of her friends from church over for a pumpkin themed playdate, I knew that I had to have a few messy art activities set up. One of the main things that I wanted to have on hand were plenty of WaterWipes. I use baby wipes for almost everything around…
