Investigation: Properties of Materials Through Painting
Description
Encourage children to explore painting or printing with the different objects and to try out different ways to use them (e.g., rub the toothbrush so the paint sprinkles, squeeze the sponge so the paint drips)
Materials
- Tape paper to the table for greater stability
- Provide a wide array of graspable materials including ones with long and short handles.
- Adjust the angle of work surface to improve fine motor control using a slant board or DIY slant board.
Instruction
- Create a visual schedule of the steps required to complete the activity if needed (e.g., first dip in paint, then put on paper).
- Provide visual cue cards as both a teaching tool and as a form of communication.
