Painting with Toys

Cut sponges into pieces and allow kids to feel the different textures as well as what happens when they get to use different sides and textures to paint with. 

Try using scrubbing sponges as a paint brush. Kids will love seeing what happens to paint as it is dotted and smeared. 

We are using a small textured basketball to roll in paint and roll around the paper. It was great to talk about the bumps on the paper and then had fun washing the basketball off to use to slam dunk in our mini hoop. 

Try dipping cookie cutters in paint and making different sharps and stories. 

One of our favorite! Use a car or truck that you can run or race through paint and then "race" across the pages. Have fun with it!! 


Try This: 
Use animals to paint tracks across the page
Borrow some craft stamps and practice stamping
Cut an apple or potato in have and use as a homemade stamp
