Today the 3's experimented using pipettes on a vertical surface. I saw this post over at Child Central Station, where they used the back of a chair.
I decided to make this be a table activity, so that 6 children could do it at a time if desired. I used plexi-glass page holders and clothespins.
I thinned tempera paint with water so it was a good consistency for dripping.
I loved when they discovered they were making a new color when 2 colors merged!
And they giggled when the pipette created bubbles on the paper.
A couple of the children put down the pipette and started blending the paint with their fingers.
Beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI love being inspired by other bloggers! And thank you for sharing my link on your FB page (I am also now following your FB page as well!).
DeleteI have recently been looking for new ideas of things to do with paint, I think you read my mind since you seem to be posting a lot of ideas lately! I am building up my list of things to try :)
ReplyDeleteYes, we are thinking alike here! I've been so happy to find new ideas from other blogs this year. I'm sure Pinterest is a good reason why. I love that when I am planning for the week, I can open my Pinterest boards and look at all the wonderful things I've pinned. I am such a visual person, so this has been a great tool!
DeleteThis is awesome!!! We are soooooo going to have to try this!
ReplyDeleteWhen I had 14 new friends all at once, I knew you somehow were involved, Deborah! (Huge smile here!) Thank you for sharing this link on your wall. It really was so much fun and something new for all of us!
DeleteWhat a great paint exploration! Lots of fun creativity here. I think I may need to try this with our easel.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun art process! I'm especially liking the easel idea..I'm stealing this idea for sure! Well, actually both ideas. :) PINNING!!

I used this for my class. They had so much fun that I had to set a timer so everyone would get a chance. And, we did it a second day. The excitement and thrill was still there. As they were drying, many people stopped by to admire the finished products. As it was Friendship Week, I had two at a time painting on one paper. The fun doubled!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, love it and will do it!
