How to make it
Use nontoxic paint, and stay close if someone might try to taste it.
1Cut the sponges
Before the session, cut sponges into circles and petal shapes. Clip a clothespin onto each as a handle.
2Pour the paint
Put a small puddle of each color on its own paper plate.
3Stamp the middle
Press a circle sponge into yellow paint, then onto the paper. That's the center of the flower.
4Add the petals
Stamp petal shapes around the center in another color. Overlaps look like real blooms.
5Draw a stem
Paint a green line down from each flower with a brush or the edge of a sponge.
6Hang it to dry
Clip the finished paintings on a string to dry where everyone can see them.
Offer 2 colors at a time, not 6. Fewer choices keep the activity calm and the pictures bright instead of muddy.
