Foot Painting

So this is one of my personal favorites -slash- my go to when I need an adventure idea on the fly. Foot painting. Whenever I tell people this is the activity we are going to do they always assume that we are going to use our toes to paint. This is an option, but I think it is more challenging, and therefore more fun, to use your toes to hold a brush and paint with that.
So for this activity you need paper, paint, paint brushes and water. Use water color paint, acrylics, crayola, it doesn't really matter. Place newspaper all around your painting floor space and put a piece regular paper or water color paper on top. Pick up your paint brush with your toes and paint away!

To add to this activity:

• It is fun to print our a picture that everyone is trying to paint. Each picture turns out so differently its sometimes hard to tell you were all painting the same object...
• Foot painting sometimes turns into painting feet, do what you want.
• Use a sheet and secure it down, put paint on your feet and dance to your favorite song and see what it looks like in color.
