Make & Take Monday

Today we will look at how to make Sponge Paint Brushes. You will need sponges (sponge on both sides, not scrubber materials), clothespins (wooden or plastic),  and scissors.

Cut sponge into 1 ½ x 1 ½ squares. Try to make as straight as possible so you will have a flat surface when painting. You can make them smaller or bigger depending on your children and what you want to accomplish. Clip sponge square onto clothespin. Children hold the clothespin and dip the "brush" into paint. You can use any color sponge (lots of fun colors).

This is an easy and economical way to spruce up your painting center. Enjoy!
