Preschool Painting

This last week for preschool we have been talking about Warm and Cold. We read a book called "Splash" where a baby elephant is Hot, so he leads all the animals to the water to cool off. At the beginning of the book the animals are hot, so the colors are bright yellows, to show warm, and then as they play in the water the colors change to blues, to signify cool. After we read the book then we did some painting one day with warm colors and another day with cool colors. Rachel and Jorgan really loved painting! I had them use Q-tips, since I didn't have paint brushes and they were just the right size for their little hands!





It is so much fun to spend so much time with them everyday! I really love their sweet smiles!

So fun! Another fun thing to do is freeze paint in ice cube trays with popsicle sticks and then they paint as they melt. Also, a fun color book is Mouse Paint. I'll try to remember to grab the project tomorrow and scan it in for you to see. It's cute though. You are such a great mom! Too bad Cyrus is missing out on all the fun. :)
