The truth is, I have never really been afraid to make a mess. In fact, we do it quite often here! This technique is just another fun way to finger paint!
Let's get started!
Let's get started!
Lay a piece of wax paper on the table and put a piece of construction paper on top of it. Then add a few colors. Try to keep your paint towards the center so it does not ooze out the side when you start painting!
Add a second sheet of wax paper.
Now the fun begins!
Carefully remove the wax paper.
The colors all blend really well! With no mess!
This is a great way to make:
Ooooh! Cool! I'm not afraid of a little mess, either, but sometimes the mess is a bit messier than I expected! ;)
ReplyDeleteVery cute and fun idea! Thanks for the welcome :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea! I've got a couple pictures my kids have done at school and preschool and that's probably how they did it without wrecking their clothes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by and welcoming me to SITS :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea, and I will totally be passing it on to my sis in law. The kids of the family would love it!
What a cute idea :) I really like it for the leaves!

What a neat idea! It would be perfect for T, with his sensory issues. T loves to paint...but doesn't like to get his hands in it. Thanks for the great idea.
