What to do:
- using various sized oval or egg shapes,
children spatter paint with assorted colors of paint.
- other ideas include bunnies and chicks.
- cut out shapes for
silhouettes from cardboard (ie. chip box or cereal box or old file folder)
- arrange shapes on a pieces of paper
- using a nail brush (or an old tooth
brush) and an old large-sized comb (or a piece of plastic craft mesh
used in needle work), dip brush into paint and proceed to rub it back and
forth over comb so that paint "spatters" over silhouettes and
onto background paper leaving an outline of the silhouette when shape is
moved
- use different colors, shapes, move shapes
around paper to create interesting overlays
- WASH brushes in warm sudsy water immediately
after use
- dry in a bucket with bristles up in air
to prevent bending of brushes
- label work and clean up
