What to do:
- using various animal shapes, children spatter
paint with assorted colors of paint
How to do it:
- cut out shapes for
silhouettes from cardboard (ie. chip box or cereal box or old file folder)
- arrange shapes on a pieces of paper
- using a nail brush (or an old tooth
brush) and an old large-sized comb (or a piece of plastic craft mesh
used in needle work), dip brush into paint and proceed to rub it back
and forth over comb so that paint "spatters" over silhouettes
and onto background paper leaving an outline of the silhouette when shape
is moved
- use different colors, shapes, move shapes
around paper to create interesting overlays
- WASH brushes in warm sudsy water immediately
after use
- dry in a bucket with bristles up in air
to prevent bending of brushes
- label work and clean up
