Sponge
Painting
Pour tempera paint onto a paper plate. Show your child how to dip
a small sponge into the paint and then onto a sheet of paper. Encourage
your child to experiment with the sponge and paint. How many different
kinds of designs can he or she make? |
Hole-in-One Painting
Cover a table with newspaper. Give your child a large sheet of paper
with a hole cut out of it. The hole can be big or small, in the middle
or near a corner. It can be a circle or a triangle or a square. Set
out tempera paint and a paintbrush. Let your child paint a picture
or a design on the paper. Observe your child as he or she paints around
the hole. Some children will incorporate the hole into their designs.
Others will ignore it completely.
Watercolor
Painting
Place a set of watercolor paints, a dish of water, a paintbrush,
and paper on a table. Show your child how to use the watercolors
by dipping the brush into the water, swirling it around on the
watercolor he or she wants to use, and then brushing the color
onto the paper. |
