White paper to paint on

Different colors of finger paint

wax paper

newspaper to lay down underneath you as you work.

 

Drop spoonfuls of fingerpaint on white paper (less is definitely more my friends!) To work on color change, make sure the two colors are primary. Cover the paper and paint with wax paper. Working on top of the wax paper, have your kids spread out the paint with their fingertips, working from the inside out. I also encouraged them to squish it around near the center to mix the color and watch them change.  When your child is finished, peel the wax paper away from the fingerpaint to reveal a stunning and Rorschach-esque masterpiece! Let dry.
