Sparkly Finger Paint

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.

Needless to say, they LOVED it!

After they finished making swishy swirls and delicious designs, I took a print. When these dried we used the Pete the Cat template from First Grade Blue Skies to cut out Pete faces. Here's the final result!

Don't forget!
