Craft Project: Splatter Paint Picture Frame
Childrens Book: Olivia by Ian Falconer
Snack: Mini Pigs in a Blanket
Judy Garland once said, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else." Olivia, in the children's book Olivia by Ian Falconer, is very much her own person. She is not afraid to be herself and to try things. She enjoys life and puts her whole self into any activity that she does. In this particular story, Olivia visits an art museum and is taken by a painting that she feels she could do just as well herself. Once she gets home she does give it try...on the wall. This project allows kids to try splatter painting in a constructive way. My kids felt so proud of what they created. This makes a wonderful present for a loved one especially if you add a picture of child with recipient.
Supplies:
Tempra paint (3 colors at most)
Unused new toothbrushes (one per color)
4x6 white picture mats
acid-free tape
picture of each child
Deep box lined with newsprint plus extra to cover work area
How to:
Cover work area. Place picture frame mat in the bottom of a lined box. Add fresh liner paper for each child. Dip a new, unused toothbrush in paint, gently shake off excess paint. Run fingers over bristles holding brush a few inches from mat. A splatter effect should take place. Repeat with different colors until satisfied. Dry. Tape picture to back of mat. Enjoy! This project could be done on a large piece of construction paper to cut cost. Allow to completely dry before mounting picture front and center on construction paper.
