A great fun and easy project to help children with

colors. The use of the sponge helps children

blend colors. Primary colors (red, blue, green and

yellow) will allow for blending to

create new colors.

You need paint brushes, paint (acrylic or tempera

not water color paint), paper, and a sponge cut to

fit your child’s hand. With a paint brush have the

child paint across the back or sides of the sponge

adding different colors. Then simply drag the

sponge across the paper.
