Ice Painting
Ice Painting (3)
Today, the Grasshoppers enjoyed a fun and refreshing ice painting activity. They worked together as a team to choose which coloured paints they wanted to use before each selecting a paintbrush. The children demonstrated excellent fine motor skills by using a tripod grip to hold their paintbrushes, giving them good control while painting. They had lots of fun painting the ice and watching the bright colours spread across its surface. As the activity continued, the children noticed that the ice, which is a solid, began to melt. We talked about how heat causes ice to change from a solid into a liquid, and that the liquid formed is water. This was a wonderful opportunity to explore early scientific concepts through hands-on play.
