Lucky Chinese Fingerpaint - Sensory Play & Learning Activity
By Kayla • April 3, 2018
Want to incorporate some fun sensory play and learning into your lesson plans, but aren't excited the mess that goes along with many sensory experiences? Fingerpaint bags offer a great solution! Students will love smooshing, smearing, and squishing the paint around - and you'll love that clean-up is a snap!
Since we're working through some Chinese New Year lessons, we decided to create some 'lucky Chinese fingerpaint' for our paint bags!
Here's how we made it;
- Hair gel
- Red food coloring
- Gold and red glitter
- Craft star sequins
Taped shut, then taped to a flat surface (tables are always great, but you might explore how the experience differs when taping the bag to a window!), your kiddos will have a blast using their fingertips, q-tips, and other soft utensils to draw doodles and shapes, practice writing letters and sight words, etc.
