Frozen Paint Colours - Play activity for Early Years +
:cheerful: Paint with frozen blocks of readymade or made up powder paint !!
INSTRUCTIONS Make up the paints so that they are 'cream' thickness. Pour into a number of small pots - junk modelling fromage frais pots would be a good size ! Place a stick into the centre of each pot and hold this in an upright position by 'pegging' it ~ use clothes peg and rest it across the rim of the pot. Place all pots on a large tray & into the freezer. Once frozen solid remove the clothes peg and prise the mould from the pot. Run under a little warm water to help move them out. If you experience problems getting your paint moulds out - you could try lining each one with clear plastic film first - then adding the paint .. this can sometimes help ease the blocks out. Lay large sheets of paper (wallpaper lining paper is good for this) and let the children , skid, slide and glide the blocks around. SCIENCE This is a great activity from the science aspect of making the frozen paint blocks from scratch... through to the free play painting experience ..
