We celebrated the removal of our carpet by walking and dancing through paint this week in both our 2's class and our 3's class.
Some of the children were a bit timid at first...
But eventually they got the hang of it.
Slippery!
Foot prints were exchanged for slide marks as we tried to dance.
The best part was the foot soak at the end. Warm sudsy water.
And then, they insisted I take off my shoes and give it a try.
Do you know this is the first time in my life that I've done this? Yep!
This is so great. I take every opportunity to get covered in paint. The other day my little boy and I did some painting which turned into body painting, which then turned into face painting. It was the best fun ever!
ReplyDeleteI love this Sheryl and you are so brave to get paint between your toes too!
ReplyDeleteWe did the same activity! hahaha boy was it hard to wash their feet one by one! I had 12 toddlers in the class! hahaa Gotta think of an easier way to do this :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I love the paint on the bubble wrap. We will try it. Thanks for the inspiration! ~Julie
ReplyDeleteWashing their feet after is just as an enjoyable process- take your time, be seated, talk to them about getting the paint out from between their toes and "Am i tickling you?" etc. I love this part sometimes more than the experience itself- it's relationship building.
ReplyDeleteCiao! Very cool activity! We work whit toddlers in Italy and we love make a sensorial activities! Thanks for this idea
