Painting

Listening to song "Race: The Final Starlight Express" and painting

Month 3 · Activity 18 · Art

Look for a paperweight size smooth rock on a hike
Protect your work area with newspaper and have a paintbrush and red acrylic paint
Paint the rock
When the paint is dry, cover with a coat of Mod-Podge or non-yellowing clear sealer or varnish for durability (spray works best but spray away from the child)
Family can use as a paperweight or give as a present
While painting listen to song “Race: The Final Starlight Express” Broadway Cast Album or watch video here

Use a small piece of sponge held by a clothespin for painting if a brush is difficult to hold

Encourage a child to use different colors of paint along with the red paint to make a creative design.

Chat about the song "Race: The Final Starlight Express"...is it a fast or slow song, are there words or no words, is it soft or loud music, etc.
