Flyswatter Painting Activity for Young Students
At First Friends Playschool Center, they did a fun painting activity that works great outdoors on nice days or indoors on cold days (as long as you're careful not to be too messy or lay a big sheet down). They engaged in flyswatter painting! Everyone took flyswatters, put them in a tray of paint, and then slapped them onto the canvas (as if swatting a fly) to make some cool images! It was a lovely activity for developing gross motor skills and exercising creativity
