The children kept themselves very busy in small groups today with droppers and paint! We put our fine motor skills to the test with pinching the tops and dropping the paint in just the right spot. The children were very focused and worked hard to use a steady hand. Practicing the pinching, letting go, then pinching again, became easier and easier each time. Once this process was established, the boys and girls were able to focus on how much paint they wanted to suck up in the dropper. Water color paint can be runny on paper, but the children got an excellent fine muscle work out with this process.
