Paint, Paint all over our face!

After we created our collages Jacob, Micah and Max decided that they wanted their faces painted with the face paint crayons like the Tel Aviv class. Max and Jacob were SO excited to be pumpkins for purim by painting their whole face orange. However, as soon as they were given the opportunity to paint their own faces they squealed with delight as they painted their faces every color of the rainbow. The boys both colored their own faces and colored each others. By using their own face they were able to realize that you have to apply different amounts of pressure on different parts of your face to make the colors show. Soon Jacob became a clown and Max became a spider. Micah stayed a cow which is what he was earlier in the day, he just grew to become a rainbow clown. I love how the boys used the colors to give themselves costumes and identities and then they took on the roles of the characters they created. It's neat to watch how art can inspire imagination. The boys had a fantastic time, and if they ever ask to do it at home just know that the crayons come off very easily with baby wipes! Happy Purim everyone!
