Any suggestions for an easy to clean art smock/apron. I think I would prefer it to have sleeves, but any suggestions would be great.

We use ours for eating now, but I think we will use them for art in the future!

I think www.bumkins.com has some. The material is nylon which makes it thin, flexible, waterproof and I believe breathable. I am seriously entertaining thoughts of getting the adult kitchen apron for myself!

FOr cheap and easy, I bought an extra long vinyl bib with sleeves at Toys R Us for like $3. I think it came in two sizes. It is stiff like lots of vinyl, but OK. I use it occasionally when my baby is eating, then wash it in the washer AND dryer, and it comes out fine, just gets flat and folded in the dryer... hmm, could it teach my other clothes that trick?

Finally, I got a used easel from someone who gave me a long art bib with sleeves with it, and I think both were from IKEA. The bib fits my tall 3 year old great and the sleeves are about elbow length. It wipes clean, although I haven't tried putting it in the washer yet.

Thanks, I'll check out the Bumkins ones. I love their bibs!
