1. |
Cover your work area with a mat or with newspapers. Prepare paint on plates or shallow containers. |
 |
2. |
Lay down a piece of sketch paper at the center of your mat. Get your toy cars ready as well. |
 |
3. |
Place a toy car on a plate of paint and move it back and forth so that the wheels pick up paint. |
 |
4. |
Roll the car along the sketch paper. The wheels make colorful tracks on paper. |
 |
5. |
Let kids play and paint with their toy cars. To avoid mixing all the colors together and ending up with mud-colored tracks, assign one toy car per color tray. |
 |
6. |
As an additional activity, kids can have a "car wash". Prepare a basin or tub of water where kids can wash their cars. This is a sure hit with kids and provides them with an opportunity to help out with some clean up. |
