Blow paint through a straw using primary colors. Do this with marbles and mini toy cars as well. Add flour or sand to the paint to give it a different consistency. Try a 'group' art activity. Gather several different balls with interesting textures.
Children can stand at the side and one end of the table.
The teacher is at the other end. The teacher dips the balls in a pan of paint and rolls them to a child. The teacher continues dipping the balls in paint as needed. The resulting product is interesting, too. Paint with food coloring colored ice cubes with popsicle stick handles on white paper.
