Transportation: Painting with Cars

We finish up our transportation theme with a classic activity - car painting!!  It's so interesting to see how differently each child approaches it!

As I mentioned before, my son Goober isn’t exactly the artsy-craftsy type.  I really wasn’t sure how he would react when I mentioned the idea of painting with cars...but I should have known.  They are cars, after all.  He immediately went to work selecting cars and sorting them into categories (big tires, smooth tires, bumpy tires, etc). 

We put tempera paint onto small plates and he got right to work.  For the next 30 minutes (the longest he’s ever spent on a craft), there was lots of this:

Thanks again, Terri, for all of your help -- it's been a great blessing!

*Next week, I'll be focusing on organization (several of you have asked to see our *school room*).  Then, I've been doing some thinking (uh-oh!), and I have a few changes in store for this blog.  More to come...
