Painting With Wood

The Rainbows did not paint with paper today but instead painted with wood. We told the kids that wood comes from trees, and since we are learning about Tu B'Shevat, which is the birthday of trees, this is why we are painting with wood. The kids each got to choose their own wooden animal and paint it. They soon discovered that this was easier said than done. One by one as they were done painting the front, they all said, "I'm done." To their surprise, the teachers showed them that the animals had more than one side and, in fact, they were not quite done yet. The animals were 3D and all had a top, bottom, and sides. Several of the children enjoyed this activity so much that they painted several animals. There were ducks, snakes, elephants, and many more to choose from. Ask your child which one was their favorite!
