O and E had a great time fingerpainting this weekend using our textured fingerpainting trays. I squirted fingerpaint into the tray, and O squished it and spread it all around.
E was a little hesitant, and when she finally put her hand in the paint, she immediately tasted it. It must not have tasted very good because she only tasted it once. She seemed a little disturbed by having blue hands at first, but she relaxed after a couple of minutes.
After they spread the paint in the tray, we put a piece of white cardstock on the tray and pressed to make a print. This was a messy and fun activity that we'll be doing again soon.
The fingerpainting trays came from the Let's Explore shop (which is no longer open).
This is a neat idea. I bet you could duplicate it by carving into styrofoam trays.
ReplyDeleteOr by using texture plates on a cookie sheet.
ReplyDeletegreat ideas! we've carved on styrofoam trays before, but I've never thought about using our rubbing plates. I'm definitely putting that on my to-do list!
ReplyDeleteDo you know the brand name of the trays?
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! Looks like they had a lot of fun :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I bet I could try wallpaper since the trays aren't available.
ReplyDeleteche bello colorare così anche mio figlio lo fà a volte anche se non è tra le sue attività preferite ,ciao Chiara
