Thanks so much for this! I am a teacher currently working with a very difficult class of seven year olds. I've been trying to work out an art idea to go with "The Black Book of Colours" and some writing we'll be doing after reading the book and these ideas are great. Thanks for the inspiration!

Ooh, your blog is getting more and more crafty 🙂 We did some single color experiments when daughter was younger - perhaps we should try again. Great ideas and thanks for sharing with Afterschool!

In reply to Cathy Ballou Mealey. That sounds fun. My boys would love the silly factor, too.

With my less 'artsy' child I made only one rule: Paint with anything except your hands! Led to lots of fun painting with our feet and toes, holding brushes or Q tips on our teeth, and even painting with elbows. The silly factor loosened him up to enjoy the process of creating.

And yes, it was summer so we were outside. Wwe used washable paint, wore old clothes and had a garden hose for clean up!

We haven't tried this yet, but I think the kids would love it! Pinning to my art for kids board 🙂
