Painting with Apples and Red Paint

Some of the students dipped the apple in the paint and then stamped the paper with the paint. Other students preferred to paint the apple with a paintbrush and then stamp the paint. Others preferred to paint their hands and make handprints and others preferred to hold the apple and keep it clean while using a paintbrush to paint.

Group painting session - brown paint and farm animals
Can use different paint tools and add shaving foam to make it seem muddy and farm animals.
