Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
A full sheet of paper, two colors of age-appropriate washable paint, and a broad brush.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Adult places a small mark of each paint color apart on the paper.
- Use the brush together to bring a little of each color toward the middle until they meet.
- Describe the new mark and add lines or shapes around it. Set the picture aside to dry.
Adult checks product labels and sensitivities, handles paint, prevents tasting, stays beside the child, and washes hands and surfaces afterward.
