Tall Paintings (Pour Paintings) with Teacher Tom If you'd like a step by step look at how to make Tall Paintings with children, go to Teacher Tom's blog. Here are some photos from Tom's blog. His photos give you a good idea of how to proceed, but I suggest you read all of his directions from his blog. The children's artwork comes from a video I posted earlier on my blog about the artist, HOLTON ROWER http://holtonrower.com/ Here's an example of Rower's work -- and I have reposted the video for you.

Smooshing Play Clay: a favorite! You know that soft play clay called Plasticine or Modeling Clay? It never hardens, comes in pretty colors? Try this instead of modeling the clay. Take small pinches and smoosh them on paper like the little kids in the pictures. You use your pointer or thumb to smear the clay in designs, thin smears and smooshes. Toddlers and young kids like to further press little things into the smooshed clay, like buttons or sequins. This project is my personal current favorite, and kids from age 1-16 have agreed with me! Start Smooshing!
