Directions:
Children of all ages like to paint. This week's Craft
Tip involved a week of painting fun.
Straw
Painting
Put a plastic spoon in each colour of paint. Allow
the children to take spoonfuls of the paint and put
it on their paper. Have them take their straws and
gently blow the paint around.
Shaving
Cream Painting
What could be more fun than playing with shaving cream?
Simply let the children spray the shaving cream on
their coloured paper and either use their finger or
a plastic spoon to make a picture from the mound of
fluff. Add a few drops of food colour and watch the
fun begin. Best of all, cleaning up is a breeze.
Finger
Painting
This timeless fun activity will have the children
laughing as they use their hands and fingers to paint
pictures on paper. They can even paint their hand
and make a hand print to work around.
Window
Painting
Who said you have to wait for a special occasion to
paint the windows? Simply mix detergent with the paint
so it will wash off easily, and let the children finger-paint
their own section of window.
Box
Painting
Boxes to make great boats, buildings, bricks, mailboxes,
just about anything you can imagine. Gather up as
many different size boxes as you can and let the children
paint and decorate them to make a village, a windmill,
whatever suits their fancy.
