“I need yellow paint for the pollen”

“Look, purple…red and blue paint!”

“Is there any green paint?  I need green paint for the stem and leaves and grass!”

“Teacher Lana, I made brown!”

           “I didn’t put out brown paint, where did the brown paint come from?”

 

“With all the colours…like this!”  (rubbing hands together)

 

Painting offers a wide variety of experiences!!  Not only is it fun…messy fun!!  It also provides the opportunity for creativity, discovery, self-expression, fine motor (hand and finger) development and making connections from real life experiences and knowledge!  Go ahead, get messy and paint!
