Leaf Painting
Here's an easy project for even a 4 year old to do (with supervision of course!). You need a t-shirt (preferably white or light colored), fabric paint (green, yellow, red and blue to mix different hues of green), different kinds of leaves, a brush, water and some newspapers. First you lay out the newspapers on your work area. Then you lay out your t-shirt and place a sheet of newspaper between the front and the back of the t-shirt so the paint doesn't get through. You mix the paint (yellow green, blue green, dark green, etc.) and you brush paint on the underside of the leaves (where the veins are). After this, you lay the leaf down on the t-shirt, put a pc. of paper over it, and press down so that an impression of the leaf will be made on the t-shirt. Repeat sveral times until you cover the front of the t-shirt. Josh likes this shirt so much, he wears it all the time!
