Day Two ~ We learned from the other day that wrapping the boys and girls in the plastic wrap took a bit too much time, and thus too much waiting. As we had eager participants, this day we used trash bags. The bags weren't quite as long so we needed to keep our cloths clean so we first rolled up our pants and sleeves to keep clean. They were laughing because, of course, they noticed they had NEVER been wrapped in a trash bag before.
They got right to work creating their masterpiece. This day we added another painting tool : a sponge. This required dipping into the paint container and squeezing out the excess paint then dabbing in up and down movement with the paint. This method honored their request for a "rainbow" chair.
We discovered that as we moved around the chair to paint just the right spot, we got paint on our feet. No problem though, we were able to wash the paint right off by soaking our feet in a small tub of water.
The creative juices were definitely flowing. The chair is still in process so stay tuned. It is quickly becoming a stunning piece of art.
All that plastic wrapping must have been a pain but the kids look like they are having a blast and the photos are priceless!
