Brownies Painting Badge: Painting Without Brushes

September 24, 2012 Riley Family, Girl Scouts, Teaching

For those of you with little ones who enjoy painting, fingerpainting is always fun. Probably second only to playing with mud in your best dress!

For one of my Brownie meetings, I had my little girls fingerpainting, and they loved dabbing their fingers in the different colors. With a little guidance, they all squawked out this fine-looking peacock.* And thanks to having a sink nearby, art smocks, and hand towels, there was not too much mess to boot!

Do you have fun projects with your kids, in the classroom, or with your Girl scout troop? Leave a comment below for me to see and share them over at Magic Marker Monday.

*The idea for this fingerpainting project came from the Scholastic direct-to-home Book Cluc series, “I Am An Artist.”
