DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT STAINS.
My son has always loved using the paint roller - even just to pretend. He played a role in painting his bedroom as well as his playroom. Recently, he has been taking out the roller to pretend to paint, so I thought I would set up an invitation for him. We tackled this on a small scale one morning....painting the back porch........

Painting the back porch. |
Our back porch is stained and the paint washed off nicely. We used a basic washable tempera paint.
Today I set up an invitation for him to paint the driveway. It was a huge hit, but didn't wash off as easily. There is a very slight stain, but I'm confident it will fade with time.
I would not try this on surfaces that are highly porous.
