R eady, set, go and lay out a pile of wood scraps on the floor. As you and your kinderartists move the wood pieces around, you will begin to see shapes and creatures appearing. Now its time to start putting the pieces together in an interesting shape. Younger kinderartists should be encouraged to work with glue and with adult help, they can use screws to fit the wood together.
Older artists can use nails and hammers to build up their sculptures.
Simply gather powdered or liquid tempera water, several jars or containers and a stick or paintbrush for mixing. Now, place a small amount of tempera paint in a container. Once you think you have the right consistency, apply some of the tempera wood stain to a scrap piece of wood. Add more paint. Add more water.
