Today we have enjoyed using our gross motor skills to explore how far we can make paint travel. We filled bowls with paint and whisked it up with a little bit of water. Then we had a brilliant, if a little messy, time bouncing balls into the paint and watching how far it spread.<\/p>\n

We needed to step back when we made a huge splash!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201cIt went off the paper!\u201d<\/p>\n

We discovered that the heavier the ball and the harder you throw it, the bigger the splash. This lead to some of the boys taking a run up before throwing to get more force. Great thinking!<\/p>\n

One of the children even decided to experiment with using the whisk to splat the paint rather than the balls. It made a lovely pattern on the paper, \u201clike rain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next week we will continue to experiment with more ways to combine using our gross motor skills with our creative skills.<\/p>\n
