100+ Ways To Paint!!!!!


On the 30th of each month, I blog over at PreKandK Sharing. 
This is a collaborative effort involving a number of early childhood professionals. 

This past month, I shared a bunch of ways in which We LOVE Paint! Then, I asked (you) the readers to link up ways in which you paint or recipes for homemade paint. There are now over 100 ways to paint listed!!!
I KNOW THERE ARE MORE IDEAS OUT THERE!

Do you have a great painting post, or idea for painting? 
The linky is open for another couple of weeks! (2/29/2012)

SO... If you are looking for some great ways to paint and enjoy the process of art, 
Hop on over to

PreK + K Sharing
And check out all of the GREAT ways that you can paint!

This article also inspired a GREAT Discussion on Product vs. Process. Do you have a blog post or interesting article worth reading in regard to product vs. process???? I'd love for you to link it up!

Amy..... you did such an amazing job in your initial article over at PreK+K on all things paint -- which stirred up my response. I'm so glad that you were the springboard for further conversation thru my first 'op-ed' piece.

The response has been amazing. So glad that you gave me the catalyst for further discussion! Thanks for holding my hand as I got further out there on the ledge.

I've added my two articles that are specific to the educator's response in your linky.

What Would You Do With It? Wednesday #4, Cardboard Tubes (Toilet Paper, Paper Towel, etc)

Welcome to this week's edition of What Would You Do With It? Wednesday. This week's item(s) are paper tubes. You most often find them at the end of a roll of toilet paper or paper toweling. I'm having trouble hunting up the photos I was going to post for this, so when I find them, I will add them.

If you would like to visit and link to some of our previous What Would You Do With It Wednesdays, please click here.

Now, I'm sure I will get all kinds of questions on the exact recipe and proportions to make this stuff.....  The truth is, we rarely measure. We just mix it up until it looks and feels about right! Today, we made ours with too much water. (It was an experiment.) So, we removed some off the top.  After we were done playing in the mud- we let it sit. A little bit more of the water evaporated while we napped.... Then, this afternoon- It was perfect! Hard as a rock on the bottom, until you dig into grab it... Then....
