Directions
Go on a stick hunt with your child. Once the perfect stick is found, have an adult spray paint the stick white. The colors will stand out much better. Once the white paint has dried, ask your child to wrap pieces of painter’s tape around the stick to make stripes. Then invite your child to paint between the blue stripes using various colors of acrylic paint. Once the paint is dry, peal the painter’s tape off. We discovered pealing the paint off was a bit tricky for the children since it would tear easily. Hang the colorful stick in a prominent place.
