Today we are doing Muffin Tin Art. Well, if I can manage to clean what they have already messed up, we are. How do you other moms do it? How do you manage the cleaning with running around behind a one year old, and a four year old picking up messes, while the baby screams? I'm finding it more and more challenging in the mornings when my toddler is extra feisty, and the baby is extra cranky....anyone else?
Anyway, back to today's activity. This one is really simple and produces great results. I did this one when I taught kindergarten, and recently read someone's blog where they had done it. It reminded me of the astonishing results this can produce. It's VERY easy. All you need is a muffin tin, paints, and large sheets of paper. I use poster paper cut into fourths or butcher paper.
I recommend going outside for this one. Flip the muffin tin over so that the inside of the muffin cups are facing down. Let the kids paint the tops of the muffin cups with different colored paints
Then flip the muffin tin, paint side down, onto a large sheet of paper. This is what it looks like when an adult does the flipping
Perfecto! I love this! The results are stunning and would look great framed! Here's what happens when a child does the flipping
How great is that?? A totally new design since she was wobbly and pulled the tin a little. I love this one as well. These painting are perfectly modern and would look stunning in a black frame! Try it out and send me your pics!
