Messy Paint Trees!


Fall is a season of colorful leaves! The girls were excited to use paint again today to make colorful fall trees. This time we didn't use paintbrushes...we used our hands, arms, and fingers to paint! {yes, I am crazy...}

First, they placed their hand and arm in brown paint...
 

Then they placed their arm and hand on the paper to form the tree...


 {Insert quick bathroom break to wash brown paint off arms and hands!}

 I let them each pick a color for their tree leaves. Of course, some of the colors picked weren't actually "leaf colors", but I figured we could step "out of the box" a bit today.

Quick smiles....

 

  ...And then the finger painting began!!!



The finished products!!
Gotta love how different they all are :-)
