Last Day Of School: Messy Art Party!

5/31/2014

0 Comments

 
Every year, on the last day of preschool, we mix BUCKETS of paint and take the kids outside for an outdoor art experience that they will never forget! The paint on on the left is chalk paint, a mixture of cornstarch, food coloring, and water. The paint on the right is powdered tempera.
We always organize our parties into stations, and groups of kids move clockwise through the stations when it's time to switch. This prevents kids from getting lost or missing out on any of our fun activities. 
At our first station, the children got a chance to THROW paint on the driveway!
Our second station was bullseye painting. 
We fill large socks with tennis balls; the children get to dip them in paint and throw them at the easel.

At our third station, the children were able to roll paint covered balls down a ramp.
We rolled icy paint around at the fourth station.
At our last station, we painted the driveway with rollers!
It was a blast!
We all used different techniques to get the paint on the pavement.

Some, messier than others.

We all had a great time!

Thank you to all of our awesome WCLC parents who made this year the best one yet! See ya next year!
