Of Fingers and Fork, Drip and Wet Painting, Etc.

When both dried up, we chose a little bird stencil and cut out the little birds you see here from his second wet painting and E pasted them all over (with too much glue - he loves squeezing those glue bottles) to create a scene.

Wet painting by E. Paint a layer of clean water over entire area of paper with a clean brush. Then paint color onto wet area. He did two of these.....

E punching with mini-punches purchased at Michaels for $1 each (on sale then). Not as easy as it might seem. First, he has to ensure that he has got the paper correctly inserted in the slot and make sure it doesn't slip off, then he has to punch the button in at the right spot so that it would punch. He did pretty well with much effort on his part. He thoroughly enjoyed it and that's what matters most!

When dried, he placed stickers all over them to create a scene.

E put five blobs of color onto his paper and then covered over them with saran wrap. He then tried to mix the colors into each other by using his fingers to spread the paint all over through the plastic. He removed the plastic and scraped through it with a fork. Can also use a stick.

Perfectly fun exercise for those very fingers one uses for writing!

We have 6 medicine droppers so E used 6 different colors he chose and away he went a-dripping...Different colors, different-sized drops and a huge dose of F-U-N!
