Materials
Chocolate pudding
mixed in a large pitcher. If you have children who are allergic to chocolate,
use vanilla or butterscotch instead. Cafeteria trays; glossy paper.
Procedures
1. Put one cafeteria tray out for each child. Pour about ½ cup
of pudding onto each child’s tray and let them finger paint. They can draw
pictures, write their names, and eventually eat all the pudding off their
fingers.
2. Pour on more pudding if they need it. Talk with them about the difference
between pudding and paint.
3. Optional: Make the pictures to take home by pressing a piece of paper onto
the tray and lifting the picture.
