Fruit & Vegetable Painting

We did another fun craft for our Fruits & Veggies Week.

This one isn't necessarily original (painting and stamping with cut fruits & veggies was probably the first craft ever invented!) 

Nevertheless, it was gobs of fun for LB.

AND we added another fun element while we were at it.

Supplies:

• Any assortment of Fruit & Vegetables 
• Paint (fingerpaint, posterpaint, tempera paint, etc. Any form of washable paint!)
• Paper 

Craft Time!

• First, I showed LB the colorful array of fruits and vegetables I had on hand: 

Then I cut each of them in half.

• I let LB choose one of them. First we ate one of the halves--(which was awesome! LB was actually interested in tasting some of these vegetables? Miracle of miracles!!)

•  .....Then we used the other half to paint with! Some of them were a bit slippery, so we used a fork to keep a hold of them (like the tomato):

Here are some of LB's creations:

We didn't get to all the fruits & veggies. After the 4th one, LB just wanted to paint his hands.

So unfortunately, fresh produce lost the battle to what LB called his "Spiderman-hands"! :)

HAVE FUN!
