Materials
Salad spinner
Tempera Paint (we used pink, white, and purple for Valentine’s Day)
Aluminum Foil
Heavy cardboard or foam board
Directions
Place a small sheet of foil in the bottom of the salad spinner. Add 2-3 drops of each color of tempera paint onto the foil. Place the top on the spinner and invite your child to spin the spinner by turning the handle or pressing on the top knob. Take off the lid and remove the foil. Observe how the colors mixed together. If using primiary colors note what two colors mixed to make a new color. Dry completely, then gently fold the foil over the cardboard shape or form board.
This is loads of fun for the children and they are so delighted to see their beautiful, colorful artwork.
