Our group we meet with for crafts has done three projects this month that were very successful with our kiddos and lots of fun. They were painting activities so naturally the kids had a good time. The first was a symmetrical heart. The kids painted the heart and then folded it in half and when the opened it up, it was the same on both sides. Addie made three of them. This was so easy and with almost no prep at all. All we did was cut out the hearts as the kids asked for them.
The second one we did was painting with ice cube paints. I simply used an older ice tray and put different colored paints in the sections; I added a small craft stick to each cube for a holder and then put it all in the freezer. When we were ready to paint I took it out, popped the ice paints into a tray and let the kids go to town. We painted on tin foil, but you could probably paint on paper as well.
The third craft was painting icicles with Q-tips; these are a wonderful tool for painting when you want them to paint in a smaller area, not use too much paint, and for those who are still learning to hold with a proper grip. We will cut them out when they dry and hang them up in the window.
