Puffy Paint - Kindergarten

0 comments
To wrap up our Rembrandt study, students practiced drawing trees using the "Y" method.  Then came the fun part...PUFFY PAINT!  We painted our trees with the puffy paint (a mixture of Elmer's glue and shaving cream).  Since we had paint and time left over from painting our trees we painted our snowmen!
