Holi

Today we celebrated holi by finger painting with bright colours

basic but fun and everywhere!!

we had fantastically messy fun celebrating Holi!!!!

we had loads of almost empty paint bottles (the ready mixed kind) so.....we filled them with water and took them ouot into the playground and squirted the wonderful colours all over!!!! it was fantastic and we took loads of photos to make a lovely display in the school hall!

we did of course ask parents to dress their children in thir scruffs for this day!!! but amazingly - there was only me covered in paint!!

Hi
I'm with cybertwin - we made a displayboard with handprints. The children
loved doing it at the time and enjoyed showing their parents later. As a sessional practice, we rollered the paint onto the children's hands (which they enjoyed as it tickled!!!) so as to control the amount of paint put on the board so that the paint dried quickly, therefore we could get another colour on the board and so ended up wth 4 distinct colours and hand shapes rather than a brown splodge!!! To give the children choice, they chose the colour to go on the board and could print wherever they liked on the board.
