Earth Day Finger Painting

 Today the kinder and first graders made Earth Day Finger paintings!
We watched this video of happy people dancing ALL over PlAnEt Earth!

 We started with a large piece of finger paint paper and some green finger paint. I have never used finger paint before this year and I have been quite pleased with the results. The kids LOVE how it feels on their hands and how it is so slippery on the paper. 

 Then we put blue finger paint on top after the green had dried a little

then they used their finger tips to draw the continents...we had pictures of Earth on the wall for them to see. This has to be done when the blue paint is very wet still...

 Then I put out 4 different colors of paint for the people. They painted each finger and stamped about three times before repainting

 Then we used Sharpies to decorate the people with faces, hair, holding hands, hats, etc.
