This will save walls, ceilings, doors, etc. from the paint splatter that will likely ensue. Send a note home to parents asking them to pack a set of old clothes so that children won't mess up their nice ones. Arm each child with a fly swatter, some shallow containers of paint, and let the fun begin!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeacher Tom likes to draw small flies onto each child's sheet so that they have something to 'aim' at. Additionally, as a pre- or post-spatter activity, Old Black Fly by Jim Aylesworth and Stephanie's Ponytail by Robert Munsch make excellent story-time material. Again, this activity is not for the faint-hearted, but the results can be frame-worthy!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/teachertomsblog.blogspot.com\/2010\/04\/fly-swatter-painting.html\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eTeacher Tom: Fly Swatter Painting!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SupplyMe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1734081413145,"sku":"A2041","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.supplyme.com\/products\/painting-with-fly-swatters-a2041","provider":"SupplyMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
