Cupcakes!

Our cupcakes came out so cute, they looked
good enough to eat! I found the cute cupcake
template at todayinsecondgrade.blogspot.com
We started  out with cookie sheets, red and white  paint and
shaving cream. Finger painting is a great
sensory activity. Some kids will excitedly put
 both hands in the paint and get busy mixing the colors.
 Others are not so sure and use one hand or even just a finger
 to mix the paint. I like to use two colors that will blend into
a new color, that way we have added a little science
experiment to our fun art activity!
Adding shaving cream gives a little puff to the paint.
After the kiddos had finished finger painting I laid
the cupcake frosting cut-out on top of the tray of paint
 and pressed down gently. It's always such fun to see the kids
reaction to the print when the paper is lifted off
their painted tray. After washing up hands lots of sprinkles
 (colored dots) were added to the frosting. Last we glued the
 cupcake to the cupcake paper. What a yummy batch
of cupcakes we had  at Homespun Daycare!
