Dr. Garcia’s Displaying Art
You will need:
Cork Board ( one large piece) and 49 small pieces (you determine the size depending on how large or small of a wall you have) Note: you do not need to do 49 you can do less
Acrylic Paint will provide you the brightest color (however, I would not use this for children under 3 or a child over 3 who still puts everything in their mouth.
Brushes
Paper (typing paper is fine or you can get fancy paper if you like)
 
 
1. Each day have your tot  choose the color he or she would like to work with.
2.Have them choose where to place the color paints  on the paper.
3. Give them a brush and let them go for it.
 
4.REPEAT STEP 1 to 3 with different colors.
( you may do as Dr. Garcia and show them when it is a good time to stop…so that it all doesn’t just become brown and show them that by mixing the colors to much you will get brown)
5. Allow it to dry.
6. Then glue it onto the rectangle cork board and trim off the excess.
7. Once that is dry glue to the large piece of cork board.
8. 49 days later you have a great piece to display.
9. HAVE FUN
