Spring Break project #1 - Painted Place Mats

Today the children painted squares of canvas material using acrylic paints. The sun was shining through the window lined studio and we all enjoyed this little moment. Last week I came up with the idea of using ice cube trays for paint caddies...the deeper wells kept the paint in instead of spilling over the edge as it does while using the circular plastic paint trays.

When we were finished painting, I had to photograph the children's hands...so sweet!

Tonight I will add a quilted backing and they can eat their breakfast on their creations in the morning!
