IT LOOKED LIKE SPILT MILK 🥛 – ART EDITION 🎨

While learning about clouds, we read It Looked Like Spilt Milk by Charles G. Shaw and then did this “cloudy art” activity from the curriculum. Mixing white paint with water was a FANTASTIC combination so that the kids could suck it up with a pipette and drop it onto the thick blue paper to make a beautiful contrast. ☁️ We also had one cup filled with just white paint and another with a mix of white glue and shaving cream.

I added paintbrushes 🖌 because I like to give them options, but I think I’d skip the paint brushes next time. The effect of the pipettes was out of this world 🌍 and became an unexpected fine motor challenge, which is always a plus. 💪🏼

Regardless of the outcome, they enjoyed the process, which is always my goal far more so than the outcome. And honestly, I love the way they turned out. 💕
