Making Paint

The kids LOVED this activity as there are lots of steps to keep them all interested. Opprortunity to get out energy, make a mess, be creative and get wet. What more could a kid want?!?

First we crushed the chalk.






Then we added water to make paint.
Barnes is wondering what is on his hands.



We painted on pans in order to make prints.



Hank loved mixing the colors.



The final prints.



There was lots of cleaning up and I think it was Barnes favorite part :).

  2. agree. i think we could have done more crushing and made the paint more smooth. perhaps there is even an extra ingredient we could have added for smoothness. i didn't follow a recipe ... just mixed crushed chalk and water?!?
