We made blotter pictures when we learned about the primary colors. Each child had a paper with 4 white squares on it. The squares were folded in half and one side was glued to the paper. We asked each child what colors they wanted on their paper and then we would squeeze small amounts of those colors on. The children then folded over their paper and rubbed and rubbed. They were thrilled when they opened them up.
We let them tell us what each picture looked like. At first everyone said a "butterfly." So, we told them that they could only say butterfly once and then they would have to think of new ideas. As you can see, their new ideas were fantastic!
