St. Patrick’s Color Mixing Foil painting

Yet another perfect and mess-free craft for pre-k, this foil painted clover is great for children in pre-k or kindergarten because it helps with fine motor skills and limits the mess made when painting. 
Another great thing about foil painting is that there is limited teacher prep here, which we all know saves teachers time! The dream!

You need:

• Aluminum Foil
• Scissors
• Paint (any color will work!)
• Paper shaped like a shamrock, leprechaun, or pot of gold!

To make:

• Cut the aluminum foil using scissors into smaller, more manageable sizes for little hands. Each student will need one piece of foil for each color they want to use. 
• Place a few drops of whatever colored paint you want to use on ta paint pallet next to the shamrock or leprechaun or pot of gold you will be foil painting.
• Gently crumple the foil into a ball and dip it into the color you want to start painting with.
• The paint that was on the foil will be blotted onto the design. You can use different foil to layer as many colors onto your painting as you want. 
• The supplies on this easy craft for kids can be used multiple times because they can use the foil over and over again!
