Musical Painting

First I have to say:

What you are about to read is a MUST!!!

If you have never tried this or done it

PLEASE PLEASE DO!!

What you need:

A vareity of painting/writing stations

Music (we used "chillout music")

Set up your stations

I had 4 stations

-easel

-dot paint

-writing activity UNER the table

(taped paper to the underneath of the table)

-finger painting

Play some music, when the music stops the kids switch stations!

I tried to monitor to make sure they were done or very close to done before I stopped the music!

EASEL PAINTING

FINGER PAINTING

UNDER THE TABLE WRITING ACTIVITY

(A MUST DO!!!)

DOT ART

SERIOUSLY best activity EVER!!!

there was something so amazing during this project I can't even explain it very well!

Kids were painting by the way the music was playing!

I had beautiful pictures from calm queit music!

I had WILD pictures from a more African upbeat song

I had Messy pictures from music that was all over the place!

EVERY PICTURE WAS PERFECT!

IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!!

I will be doing this more often and HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend doing (did i mention you NEED to do this) this with a large group, small group, or just play different types of music with your child at home when doing some painting or drawing!

Here are a few more photos from our fantastic project time!

Alrighty! 

Hope everyone had an AWESOME tuesday!

I know we did!!!
