The Rainbows created a whirwind of color today as they experimented with finger paints. Some of the children were a bit puzzled - were they really being invited to put their hands into the paint? No brushes? Some enjoyed using an individual finger and eventually tried putting a palm right onto their creation. Others marveled at the feel of paint between their hands. There were many requests for more colors, and mixing them was good fun. The kids worked on their feet, rather than seated. This gives them a chance to put their weight into their activity, and to use broader motions with their arms.
When it came time to clean up, the collection of colors on the spoons we had used made us smile - it was as if we had created our very own rainbow!
