A garden of Flowers

We are learning about spring this week in preschool. 

At the art table I put out  small bowls of paint and water bottles 

and told the kids they could paint a  garden with the water bottles. 

They thought it was so fun to dip water bottles in paint 

and stamp flowers with them. I added circle shaped sponges

( I found them with the tole painting supplies at Walmart). 

for the center of the flowers. When they were happy with their gardens I gave 

them a paint pot of green paint and let them add stems, leaves and grass. 

The gardens came out amazing. Each one a bit different.

 Each one  full of color and creativity!

Supplies needed

Butcher paper cut into the  length of  your choice. 

(ours were about 24"  long)

water bottles (we used 5 with 5 colors of paint)

small bowls for the paint and water bottles

circle shaped sponges

paint pots and brushes.(for the green paint)
