Swat paint printing in preschool

Any time I try a new idea I can’t help but get carried away. These were just as fun to make as they were to paint with.

Yesterday I shared how to make swatters with foam squares and straws. Today we used foam squares, foam stickers, and craft sticks.

Before decorating each foam square with craft foam stickers, we stapled the squares to a craft stick.

Then it was time to try a little printing with the paint and our new swatters.

This time we painted the swatters with a brush so we could add different colors on each of the shapes.

And then we gave a little swat on the paper!

We tried just dipping the swatter in the paint too…

The results were both fun and colorful!

Check out this wonderful and simple “I Spy Book” you can make with craft foam and craft stickers too!

Every time I think I know everything I need to know about teaching young children, God says, "Hold on a minute!" and gives me a new challenge.

Let me tell ya...

With each new challenge that you overcome, you will find yourself better equipped and more passionate about teaching young children.

God didn't call wimps to lead, teach, or care for His children. Nope, he has high expectations, so get ready. You will have to give your very best but after teaching for over 30 years, I can tell you that it is a wonderful and rewarding journey.

Whenever your calling feels hard, just remember, 'He who began a good work in you (and in the children you serve) will be faithful to complete it.'
