Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tail (FSPDT): Color Mixing with Paint

Color Mixing with Paint

Pin It
Painting is such a fun activity.  My kids love when they see the paint come out.  Painting is a fun way to spend an afternoon with the kids as I enjoy painting with them too sometimes.  This day we set out to paint and color mix all at once.  A fun and simple afternoon activity for the kids.


Color Mixing with Paint






What we used:

Finger paint

paint brushes

cardstock

trays




What we did:

I put the cardstock in a tray.  Then added paint drops of multiple colors to the paper.  I gave the kids the trays and paint brushes.  Then they started painting, mixing the colors as they painted.




This was a process art project for them.  I wanted to let them just have fun.  They painted a few masterpieces and then off to running and jumping around the yard.



I love the bright colors and swirls and brush strokes of their paintings.  A fun way to mix up our outside time by color mixing paints on paper.  Also, a great way to let them explore colors.



Now what to paint next?  We hope you can have some painting fun too. I am sure you all have many wonderful painting ideas.  Feel free to leave your favorites in the comment section below.

Please do come and visit us again. We would love to have you back.

       All kids are different and only you can decide how you let your kids play. And with what materials you let them play with. My children are supervised when playing. Please keep this in mind with any post you read of mine!
