Art - Finger Painting

Last Friday, some children dipped their fingers into the paint to trace some shapes. They seemed to be interested in painting with their hands. 
Therefore, we started our art time this week with the question "what can we use to paint?"
Sophie: "we used toilet paper rolls to paint last time!"
Eva: "we can use a piece of wood." (Ann: "like a stick?") "Yes, like a stick."
Hyra: "we can roll!" Ann: "yes, sometimes people use a roller to paint."
Aston: "hands!" 

we can make both thick and thin lines by using different fingers! 

Moving outside in the nice sunshine, children practiced using their fingers to paint on a big piece of paper!

We painted by the Autumn forest.

Finger painting with Fall colours outdoor, the children also suggested other tools to paint.
Eva and Sophie wanted to use leaves to paint. Miquel and Eric thought of using twigs to paint.

 

 










After the large painting fun, the children played the "Hop Old Squirrel" song game outside. Stopping and listening during we played the song game, the children and I thought we can sit down quietly and listen to the sounds around us. We heard cars, an airplane and the wind!
"I like to do art time outside!" said the children.
