Adjective Painting
This painting project provides tactile, visual and scent experiences galore! As your child explores the different paints, you can enrich the language experience by describing how the paint looks, feels, smells (and tastes if using one of the edible choices). Active participation in different sensory experiences solidifies the vocabulary by making the words relevant and meaningful. Here are a few ideas to get you started; let your imagination run wild!
To ordinary finger paint, pudding, gelatin, whipped cream, yogurt or even mustard add things that feel, look and/or smell such as:
- Sand
- Packing peanuts
- Coffee grounds
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla extract
- Corn meal
