Today the Rainbow, Unicorn and Levana friends had a fantastic time during our lunch bunch messy day! Everyone had their own pieces of paper to create their own unique paintings on. We had lots of different unique ways to paint. We painted with pasta both cooked and uncooked. The cooked pasta was wiggly and you could drag the paint across a page. The uncooked spaghetti worked more like a paint brush where you could put the paint exactly where you want it. The uncooked spaghetti was also a neat way to scratch into paint to remove it and draw a picture within the paint. In addition, we also had liquid water color ice cubes. It was neat to watch the paint dissolve on the paper. Each child liked experimenting with these different ways to paint. Molly wanted to paint with a brush and after she painted with a brush for a bit she picked up some uncooked pasta and exclaimed, "This is just like a brush!" Elias like using the ice cube paint to push the other paint around on the page which mixed both kinds of paint together. Max and Nathan painted the spaghetti with the brush and then rolled the noodles across the page. All the children tried using both the pasta and the ice cubes to paint and they left with beautiful multi-media painted creations!
