Children will write or tell a story about their favorite resulting image or series of images.
Children paint their own abstract shapes in red or blue on four separate pieces of paper.
Allow the paintings to dry overnight. Shuffle the papers and pass four out to each child. Children imagine what the abstract shapes suggest, then draw black lines to detail the images, making their interpretation more obvious. Children invent a story about one of the pictures or a series of pictures. Depending upon their abilities, children write or dictate their stories.
