Squeeze Painting




When our school had it's PTO auction, I bought a basket full of arts and crafts ideas and supplies. I figured it would be fun for Maggie and I to do some of them while I was home over the summer. Yesterday, she did some squeeze painting. We mixed flour, salt, water, and tempera paint (for some reason she chose brown as one of her colors) in squeeze bottles and she went to town! It took her 3 sheets of paper before she discovered she could put her fingers/hands in the paint to create a totally different design! She loved every minute of it and since we didn't use all of the paint, she got to do it again today. Notice the glob of paint on her nose in some of the photos, too!
*Anyone that knows me knows this was a big step for me because I really let Maggie go free and get as dirty as she wanted! :)
