Valentine Rolling Pin Painting

We pulled out our art rolling pins, changed the sponges from animals to hearts.  Set out trays of paint and big paper and watched to see what would happen.

The children felt very comfortable using the rollers.  They looked like they were rolling out dough.

One of the pins had cord glued around it.  

 How far will it roll?

It probably would have kept going but he ran out of table.

We also hand painted the stamps to mix the colours.

 Or forget about the roller and mix with the brush.

We discovered one mistake I made when preparing one of the rolling pins.  I thought it would be good to glue cording on in rows and proceeded to glue on 4 pieces.

It wouldn't roll.  No fun and wasn't used.

Rolling Pin Painting

Today at the art table we did roller pin painting. We used regular roller paint brushes that is cut into different designs. Then I used a couple of old rolling pins and glue items on them. One had a cord wrapped around it that made great lines. The other I cut animal shapes from foam and glued it on.
