On Friday the children and I froze liquid tempera paint with craft sticks in the individual ice cube holders. Today the real fun began! A minor mishap---namely that most of the craft sticks had fallen out---turned in to a much more fun experience as the children decided to pick up and paint with the cubes by using their bare hands! Everyone who participated had a blast. At the end of the activity the children finger painted directly on the table. This too was so much fun that there were a lot of complaints when it was time to clean up. I'm convinced that the messier the activity, the greater the enjoyment---at least by the children!
