Experiencing the properties of paint


Scarlett had noticed the paints at the easel, at first she put the paintbrushes to paper. Then she decided to bend over and start painting her feet, she stroked the brush backwards and forwards, she then decided she would paint the little black doormat outside the art room door. She ran through this routine a few times going from the paper, to her feet, to the mat and then she decided she would try the taste test. Scarlett put the paintbrush into her mouth and around her lips. Scarlett was actively exploring the paints and having such a fun time, she stayed stationary and engaged for at least twenty mintues. It's great when toddlers get an opportunity to actively explore with all their sense this is how their learning is happening, hows does this feel on my toes, what will it taste like, how will it feel in my mouth. Scarlett keep being the curious girl that you are and explore to your hearts content.
