I decided that this past Monday was the day we needed to brave finger painting. Yes, it's messy. And yes, most of the time the product is a big, brown, picture of goop.

Bishop experimenting with colors. |
But it's the process, not the product that is important, right? It's the truth and it's something I have to remind myself when things get a little messy in the classroom. The kids love the freedom to get messy. They love the way globs of paint feel under their 4-year-old hands. And they are learning so much as they see their creations!

It's fun for me to see how the kids approach it differently. |

Masterpieces! |
Way to go for braving it! I'm sure the kids loved it! Sometimes the build-up and clean-up that take longer than the activity is still worth it!
