Did you notice the shape of a green pepper? Looks like a …. Shamrock or clover! You’d think it was made for paint stamping!
What a perfect idea for St Patrick’s day – gather some green items and use them as “brushes”! momstown Milton gathered limes, green peppers and green paint and went to town with finger painting in their St Patrick's Day Crafty Critters event! This is a terrific art activity for babies and toddlers as it’s easy to grip onto a round lime or fat pepper and smear the paint around. Great tactile experience!
Materials:
Lots of green items: peppers, limes, apples, sponges, brushes + Paint + Large paper (for random painters) + Smock (or birthday suit!)
Directions:
Parents – bring a sense of humour and flexibility to this exploratory activity – let your child enjoy herself and just plan for a bath afterwards!
