Apples & Paint

How we did it:
Materials List
- apples
- foil
- paint
- paper
-
After slicing some apples in half, I placed some paint on a piece of foil and O dipped the apples in.
-
Then stamped onto paper.
-
He asked for purple, so I showed him how to mix red and blue to make it, and he decided that mixing colors was the coolest thing since sliced apples.
-
The final product, showing the progression from primary colors to the mixed paint apples is fun. I noticed that a thin layer of paint on the apple produces the best result.
-
Here is my attempt at the project - what an older child could achieve. The color blending turned out to be an unintentionally interesting effect. You can even make a fall placemat out of your art work by laminating it with clear contact paper.

After all that apple painting - we got hungry!
