Oh, I have?
Well, they really loved this activity!
I squirted some tempera paint in the colors of their choice on a large sheet of paper.
And a-painting they went!
We tried holding the edges down with rocks from Jake's collection. Tried being the operative word.
Hey, Zac! Don't you want to paint???
"Noooo!"
The other two . . . ahem, we three (I couldn't let them have all the fun!) thoroughly enjoyed it though and painted multiple pictures.
We filled a big bucket of water to wash off. As always, the activity
turned into a science experiment. Jake was choosing his colors of paint
for his pictures based on which colors he wanted to use in the rinse
water.
The great thing about this activity (other than feeling the cool paint squish between your toes!) is that you can reuse the pictures as wrapping paper, cards, in frames, etc.
A fun activity, a science experiment, a reusable craft, and a painted patio to boot? Sounds like a winner in my book!
What fun! I really liked the expression on your youngest. :) Thanks for linking up on LINK YOUR MESS! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks fun and incredibly messy :-D
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun activity. I know my kiddos would have a blast with painting with their feet. Thanks for sharing on Throwback Thursday Blog-Style. I can't wait to see what you share this week.
