Activity Idea: Creative Painting

Art activities provide valuable opportunities for children to not only spend additional time reflecting on lessons, but to learn out to express what they have learned in new and creative ways.

Let's get started!
1. Give the children an opportunity to explore painting with different types of instruments. Besides brushes, you may want to provide: rollers, foam brushes, cotton balls, hair brushes, crumples plastic bags, blocks, sponges, scrubbers, etc.
2. Allow the children to explore how each instrument creates a different mark on the paper.
3. Encourage each child to create a picture or design that uses all of the instruments provided OR create a project using only one of the instruments provided.
