Materials
Tempera paint in various colors, if desired
Striped Wrapping Paper
Paint brush or foam sponge brush for each color paint
Work surface (table or easel)
Directions
Secure a piece of wrapping paper to the table surface or easel. Pour tempera paint into paint cups or on small paper plates. Encourage your child to use a paint brush or foam sponge brush to paint between the lines of the wrapping paper. Allow to dry, then display.
This activity encourages concentrated focus and control of the paint brush – a good one for preschoolers.
