Paints (any kind will work since the dog won't be touching them, but water-based paint is recommended so you can easily wash it off your hands)
Peanut butter, wet dog food, or some other food for the dog to lick
Sandwich bag to put the painting in while the dog licks
Shape that you are going to paint
Surface for your painting to dry (as the painting dries, some paint will run down the sides so pick something it won't stick to)
Supplies that are nice to have:
Adhesive magnets to stick to the back if you want to hang the painting on a metallic surface (we use the round ones the size of a penny and you can cut them to fit smaller areas)
Paint pen or marker to write the dog's name and the date on the back
Paper plate to put a piece of wax paper on for the painting to dry so you can easily move it
Plastic gloves to wear after the dog is done and you need to get the painting out and set to dry (cuts down on the cleanup)
Scissors to cut open the sandwich bag
Stand to display the painting if you aren't going to hang it as a magnet (we use plastic plate stand holders from Amazon)
Toothpick(s) to clean out any holes or areas that get clogged with paint
