Materials
- Paint (Tempura or Poster Paint)
- Paper
- Paper or plastic plates
- Toy Cars
Instructions
- Put a enough paint on a paper or plastic plate to cover the surface of the plate
- Roll the toy car back and forth over the paint to coat the wheels
- Roll the toy car across the paper to make paint tracks
- Repeat using different cars (with different types and sizes of wheels)
Tips
- An alternative approach to this activity which is great for very small children is to put blobs of paint on the paper and allow the child to drive the car through the paint. This is easier than trying to teach the child how to cost the wheels in the paint by rolling the car back and forth
- Toy trucks are great for this activity as they tend to have textured wheels which make nice patterns.
