Ww for worms
The kids had such fun dipping their "worms" in shallow bowls of paint and 
laying them across their paper. Makenna liked her worms to dance and bounce.
Ashley had ballerina worms that moved slowly making lots of shapes.
The boys had army worms, they loved  dragging them across
 the paper  as they watched the colors mix up.
 We ended up with some beautiful art work that the
 kids were so very proud of!

Supplies needed
washable tempera paint
shallow bowls for the paint
yarn cut into pieces
construction paper

Planes, cars, trucks, and trains!
What fun it is to run vehicles through a plate of paint and then across a sheet of paper!
Today in preschool we learned about different ways to travel. I set assorted vehicles in the plates of paint and asked each child what vehicle would you pick if you wanted to fly in the sky? What would you climb into if you were traveling on railroad tracks? I had a boat, bike, plane, train, car, mud bog truck, and a skateboard! The kids had such fine naming the vehicles and even more fun racing them on their paper!
For added fun I set out giant Tt's for them to paint across with the vehicles 
 as they shared their favorite way to travel.
Supplies needed
assorted small vehicles
paper plates of washable paint
