You Spin My Plate Right Round, Right Round

Painting with Paper Plates

YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY!

• Does it offer an educational experience? Yes
• What does it teach? Colors, shapes
• Is it age (i.e., 2 - 3 year old) appropriate? Yes

What You’ll Need:

• Large thick white paper
• Paper plates
• Washable paint
• Washable markers

What Your Child Will Do:

1. Color the paper plates with different color markers
2. Then the adult can pour washable paint on to separate paper plates
3. Turn plates upside down, and twist and turn them around the paper (repeat)

My son loved this because it was basically painting with his hands but on a much bigger (and messier!) scale. We found the color from the markers came through on the paper making really cool designs.
