A few weeks ago, I received a "Swag Bag" of products from Liquitex, Winsor& Newton, Reeves,Conte' a' Paris, Letraset, and Snazaroo !  First, I want to say THANK YOU for all of the great goodies that we have been using and having alot of fun with!   I have always used liquitex acrylic paint for my own personal paintings and also use Winsor&Newton watercolor paint. They have also graciously offered for YOU a FREE sample of this neat Liquitex paint pen!! Just follow the link below to get one and try it out! FREE SAMPLE I will start with my absolute FAVORITE part of the swag bag! This would be the water soluble Wax pastels! There is a great variety of bright colors, and can be painted with water to create a beautiful finished look like paint! Here is an up close look at the "paint effect" from the pastels One of the best things for me is that they come in class packs, which I will definitely be ordering next Fall!!  Another product we tried was the Conte...

 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.
