Using Feet To Paint The Fall Colours

The preschool lesson plan for this week’s playful preschool fine and gross motor skills activity is Fall Colours -red, yellow and orange. In case you are new to Learning 2 Walk, Playful Preschool is a series consisting of a group of preschool bloggers coming together to share playful ways to teach preschoolers. Each week has a different theme and every blogger has a different subject area. So far we have done Apples, Family/Heritage and Harvest.  If you are also looking for more fall activities for preschoolers, you can click here. Let’s walk.

For this week seeing that I have realized that J LOVES anything to do with paint, I decided to create a banner and she would paint it with her feet. The colours we would choose would be the fall colours: red, yellow and orange, as these are the colours of our theme.

What You Need

To do this fall activities for preschoolers you will need the following:

1) Red, Yellow and Orange Paint

2) A sponge paint brush

3) Easel Paper

 

4) Decorative Tape for borders

What We Did

First I got my area ready by getting our craft mat ( it is simply a plastic shower liner) and then I placed it on top of my carpet to prevent any accidents.

Once that was done I taped down the sides of my paper I wanted to use to the craft mat with painter’s tape. I then got an old receiving blanket for emergency wipe ups.

I painted J’s feet with the first colour and then lifted and placed her on the paper to start painting with her feet. Then I did a few more prints with that colour. Once we were done with the red, we moved on to yellow for the other foot and then we did orange on both feet.

Once the painting was dry, I added decorative tape for the borders.
