This week, the children explored making polk-a-dots with straws.
Red, yellow, and blue paint was set out along with a straw in each paint.
The children dipped the end of the straws into the paint.
Then pressed the painted end of the straw on the paper.
New colors were added to the page as desired.
The amount of paint that was on the end of the straw determined how solid the polk-a-dots would be.
A simple process that the children enjoyed.
I just love Polk-A-Dots!

I’m always trying to find different ways for my son to paint– he just turned 3.
I guess he was a little bored with JUST doing the dots so he decided to draw a dinosaur and have it rain on him while turned the straw different ways. He had so much fun!
Thanks for this great idea
We had fun. Afterward- he wanted to do a hand print collage painting.
Haha – adding a dinosaur is definitely much more fun:)

Just wanted to say thanks for the great ideas. I tried this with my boys (http://ourlifeinpictures2008.blogspot.com/2010/07/rainbow-art.html) and they loved it, well at least the older one. Can’t wait to check out the rest of your blog for more ideas.
