Tub Paints

 

-- Just add food coloring or bio colors

 

-- Clean up—just rinse off with water

-- Optional—let your child splash off the tub and walls.

 

Writing

 

            -- On a tray or table (tape off work sections for table)

            -- Dispense an orange size ball of shaving cream

            -- Have the children use their fingers as their pencils

-- Clean up—use a dust pan or squeegee to scrape off excess, then with a damp towel wipe clean.

 

Color Mixing (I love using neon food colors for this)

 

            -- Cups or small bowls

            -- Food coloring or bio colors

            -- Spoon  

 

-- Fill cups with shaving cream

-- Add enough coloring to achieve desired color (remember you are adding it to a white base so colors will appear lighter)

-- Stir with spoon

 

** Some of the children in my class say these look like ice cream

 

-- Place cups in sensory table with spoons and let the children scoop out dollops of colors

 

** Some nice splatter effects happen this way

 

-- Then let them experiment with mixing the colors with ratios of 1-1, 1-2, etc…

-- Talk about the resulting colors

-- What happens when you mix all of the colors together?

 

-- Clean up—use a dust pan or squeegee to scrape off excess, then rinse table out.

 

** special note if you have trouble removing some color from hands or surfaces a mixture of bleach water at 100pm should get it out.

** Always have an adult use the bleach water to make sure it does not get into a Childs eyes.
