this is a great and some what tidy way of finger painting , Place your paper down onto a cookie sheet or deep baking pan, then squirt a few shots of colour then cover with a piece of saran wrap or even a plastic grocery bag, then let your child push and move the paint around... then when your done pull up the saran wrap and you will be left with a cool abstract painting, if the saran wrap is fairly smooth you can leave it in place it will just take a little longer to dry...
Pudding Painting
this is a fun finger painting exercise for kids who have a tendency to eat the paint.. you can use brushes or just fingers.. you can also add a few drops of food colour to vanilla pudding if your after a little more colour...
this teaches motor skills and its a good messy time with easy and yummy clean up..
