I've been trying to make our lessons more playful. So Friday morning, I decided on a whim to let the kids finger paint. I couldn't find any in the school, so I squirted a bit of blue and white tempera paint on a finger paint board, then mixed in a dab of dish washing liquid. I thought it might add to the creamy texture AND help a bit with the clean-up. While the kids were finger painting, I sprinkled silver glitter on their hands.
Don't forget!
For a chance to win one of three Pete the Cat books, follow me, rubber boots and elf shoes, and crazy for kindergarten.

I LOVE these! So going to do this at the beginning of September!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI found this idea just in time. We are doing a day of fun activities to close out the school year and I'm in charge of the fingerpainting. They will love that we can add some sparkles to it! :)

I love your idea of adding glitter. I like to add food flavors to paint so the paint smells good. For example, when we painted candy canes in December, I added peppermint flavor extract. My room smelled sooo good. I love your art work, too!
