eye dropper fun
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
As a precursor to an activity we will be inviting the children to do soon, we put out some eye droppers and coloured water for them.
They LOVE using eye droppers! We also put out a variety of papers over a week or so.
When the paper had a sheen to it, the paint ran off in interesting dribbles.
The children often put way too much on, so they also ended up with a big blob all intermingled, which looks pretty interesting too.
Watch the floor as they try to juggle their pictures outside to the drying rack!! It is a good idea in this case to have a container for them to carry their masterpieces out in.
When the paper has a little more absorption, the paintings ended up being a mix of runny and blobby, depending on how much the children squirted on.
Lastly we put out paper towel which has huge absorption, so again, quite a different look to the end result. In every case there was a wonderful mixing of colours and many excited children exclaiming about the magic they had performed.
