Last week Little Miss was off kindergarten poorly for a day. She was too poorly to go to kindergarten but still needed occupying (as did I after 2 mind numbing hours of CBeebies!) and was desperate to paint. I had seen this activity posted on Facebook last week and had to try it out. It was fairly quick, so much fun (for both of us), so little mess and produced some lovely art work away from the usual muddy coloured painting when all the colours get mixed together! here’s how we did it…
Step 1: squirt blobs of paint onto a canvas
step 2: pop the canvas into a clear sandwich bag or cover with clingfilm
step 3: ‘paint’ with your fingers until the colours spread around the canvas
step 4: when you’re done ‘painting,’ peel off the plastic
step 5: take a blank piece of paper and press the plastic onto the paper to make a print with the excess paint
And hey presto, two colourful pieces of art work…
