- "Mouse Paint
Almost every child has read or will read the popular book, "Mouse Paint." It's a wonderful teaching tool to use in the art room, too!
After reading the story to my Kindergarteners, we made our own mice to paint in! I prefolded all the sheets into three sections so that my students would fit each mouse in their own separate section. I also pre stuck on the sticker dots for the kids, which I bought at Office Max.
I used watercolor because I was nervous if we used tempera, the students would have a difficult time painting around the mouse face. Writing this now, I realized may you could do the painting portion first if you wanted to use tempera, and add the details when the paint is dry. This lesson only took one 40 minute class though, and waiting for paint to dry would cut this project into two separate, short lessons, and a group of antsy kids with extra time at the end of each class.
