Textured, slimey fingerpaint provided a fun medium for practicing our sense of touch. I am amused by how well fingerpainting reveals personalities and preferences. Some children managed to stay very clean during this art project and others. . .well, they were not so clean. :)
The nine exhibits from my T/Th class, above, illustrate this point. Look closely to see how differently each student used the same materials.

Ironically, my class of all boys was the least thrilled with finger paint. About thirty seconds into the project and they were calling it a day! Fortunately, spreading the paint with craft sticks(as you can see above) was much more tolerable for them and the project was saved. :)

I have had so much fun learning about farm animals with your preschooler. These posts will give you a chance to experience a little of the farm, too, as you view your child in action.
Thank you for being part of preschool at Jenny's Learning Center. I so appreciate the opportunity to work with your child and associate with you.
Sincerely,
Jenny
