paint with cotton balls

 

In preschool we set up paint invitations daily. The easels are always open, there is always paint available at the painting wall, and the children know where they can get more paint, paper, and paintbrushes when needed. Sometimes, we set up a painting invitation in a new way to encourage the childen to explore paint differently. 

Here, we set up tinted paint (as we tell the children, a tint is when we add white paint to another color), black paper, and cotton balls with clothespins to act as brushes.
