Painting With Baby - A Crafting Fail

A while back I read this post on painting with your baby and LOVED it so much I tried it out with Levi but it turned into a big fat fail! Here are the possible reasons I think this didn't work for us...
1. I used too much paint 2. I should have use card stock instead of regular paper  3. I have a SUPER strong baby who likes to destroy anything in sight
On the plus side I did get a couple cute pics and he did have fun even though the final product didn't end up the way I thought it would. Here's baby hulk going at it...

and then he realized I was taking pictures...

and he gave me that little smile that just melts me...

So the end product ended up being a messy torn up piece of paper but he had fun! So I wouldn't say this was a complete fail. I am thinking I will try this again but with card stock or with some super strong industrial strength type of paper or something. 
Have you had a crafting fail recently?
