Tip: if you are doing this indoors I recommend using the kitchen floor with a bath towel. I filled shallow pans or bowls with soapy water. This rock is smooth.”Īfter collecting rocks I set up a rock cleaning station. How do you think it feels? This one is bumpy. This is a great time to focus on your children’s senses. “Today we are going to do rock painting! Hmmm, but we don’t have any rocks! Let’s go outside and search for some!” I gave each of my girls a small bag and they ran off barefoot to explore. After dropping my son off at school my girls were desperate to paint and I was desperate to get outside. Today is a picture perfect Spring day, 70 degrees and sunny. Come play with us! If you have any questions please take the time to comment below. I will be sharing the way I invite children to a new play experience, the language we use during the play and the importance of tailoring the play to the individual. Today we are exploring process over product during a fun rock painting project. So many learning opportunities are lost when we expect children’s artwork to look a certain way. I cringe when I walk into a classroom or see photos on the web of a bulletin board with 15 pieces of artwork looking exactly the same. In simple terms this means that we value the play experience more than the end result.
