What is more fun than fingerpainting?


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!

  1. 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!
