Painting with Cookie Cutters
This is great activity for preschoolers
So much learning is done in this fun activity.
All you need is paper, paint and cookie cutters.
Use different colours for each cookie cutter image. Teach the colour names, mix the colours and create new colours.
Use the cookie cutters in different ways. paint the inside only. paint around the outside only. dip the edge in paint and make an outline print. Give the image details eg. fish scales, fins and eye.
Learning to paint the inside and not get your other hand in the way is a learning task in itself.
I helped initially so my son didn't become frustrated and then left him to it. He worked it all out pretty fast and had a great couple of hours.
You could also teach washing skills by getting the kids to wash all the cutters after! :)
What a great idea!!
