For this project, we got to learn about painting with different objects besides a paintbrush. Each student got the chance to practice stamping and smearing with a carrot, a piece of celery, an apple, and a spoon. After practicing, each student got a fish template, and could use the four objects to stamp and smear on their fish. We then glued a googly eye so the fish had a face. On the bottom of the piece of construction paper, we had to write down the four items we used to paint, and four other items that we could've used instead of the carrot, celery, apple, and spoon.
An extension activity for painting could be to use their hands and fingers to paint animals. Students could use their whole hand to create a small bird, and use a paintbrush to add details, such as a tree branch to sit on and a face and wings, or students could also use their finger tips to create different colored and shaped flowers.
