A Child's Introduction to Materials

Creative Exploration is a process based class that introduces children to a variety of different materials. Each week there is a common theme explored through a series of art stations. Each station is a different example of how that weeks material can be used. Children are free to move around and explore each station as they please. Parents are encouraged to participate with their children.

Creative Exploration was created to encourage children to explore and use their imaginations. The concept of the class was created with the hope that it would instill a strong foundation, at a young age, giving the child the ability to think outside the box with confidence.

Finger Painting Recipes

Body Paint for Kids
you will need:
baby shampoo
powdered tempura paint
mixing bowls
spoon

Gradually add the powdered tempura paint directly to the shampoo until you achieve the desired color and consistency.

Clown Face Paint
you will need:
baby lotion
powdered tempura paint
liquid dish washing detergent
mixing bowls
spoon

Mix together 1/2 teaspoon of powdered tempura paint with 1/4 cup of baby lotion. Add a generous squirt of liquid dish washing detergent. Make a variety of clown colors. Let the children experiment with putting the clown paint on their faces. This face paint will clean up easily with soap and water.

Soapy Paints
You will need:
Detergent flakes
water
food coloring or tempura paint
mixing bowl
electric mixer
spoon

Using the electric mixer, beat the detergent flakes and water until a creamy mixture is formed. You can keep the soap flakes white and use them on a dark piece of paper and try adding color to the mixture. Use this paint while freshly whipped.

Window Finger Paint
you will need:
Liquid tempura paint
paintbrushes
tape
newspapers
containers for the paint
liquid dish washing detergent

Use the tape and newspaper to protect the walls and floor. Mix liquid dish washing soap into the paint to help make the paint-removal easier. Let the children create a window masterpiece.

'Edible' Finger Paints

Whipped cream creations
you will need:
whipped cream
food coloring
mixing bowl
spoon
thick paper or paper plate

Combine only a drop or two of food coloring with the whipped cream. Too much food coloring will cause the whipped cream to go runny.

Super Sticky Finger Paint
you will need:
corn syrup
food coloring
various containers for storing paint
mixing bowls
spoon
finger paint paper

Mix the corn syrup with only a drop or two of food coloring. Mix well. This finger paint is very sticky and wet, but when it dries, it will no longer feel sticky and will look incredibly shiny.

Yummy Yogurt Finger Paint
you will need:
1/2 carton plain yogurt
1/2 package flavored gelatin
mixing bowl
spoon
finger paint paper

Mix all of the ingredients together and finger paint!

Textured finger Paints

Mix sand, sugar or salt with finger paint.

And lets not forget about 'No Mess' Painting

Just water, paint brushes and a sidewalk or driveway.
