Because it's painting & kids, we did this activity for the Palace Pets Paint Party outside. Even though it was October, it was still somehow blazing hot. Welcome to the South guys. I guess it's better than the rain we have dealt with some years though. So on the table were more placemats like I used on the food table, their berets & aprons, water cups, brushes & paint palettes.
My talented friend Luci helped me with this party since she is a great painter & possesses a greater patience for teaching kids things than I do. She got the great idea for this project
here. She took canvases & cut out hearts & flowers out of contact paper. She then sealed the shapes onto the canvases in advance for the kids, so it would be less time that she would have to keep their attention. She then went through a tutorial, teaching them to paint rainbow colors across the canvas before removing the contact paper & revealing a clear shape in the center.
Luci's tutorial turned out great & while not all sticking to the rainbow concept, the kids did a great job too. They also had a blast painting & were all so proud of themselves. And how stinking cute are they in the berets & paint aprons? Here they are with their painting teacher Luci.
While their painting dried, the kids had fun whacking the paint can piñata (thanks Oriental Trading). The kids had a lot of fun & definitely enjoyed stuffing their bags full of candy. It was a fun day for Addy, Peyton & their friends.
