Valentine's Day Art

Aluminum Foil Painting

Who can resist shiny paper and hearts, especially for Valentine's Day?  Exchange a piece of white paper with aluminum foil, and you have added instant pizzazz to any painting project.

The prep is easy.  

1.  Tear off a piece of foil and glue it to a 12 x 18 piece of construction paper.

2.  Trim the end off of the construction paper.  

3.  Provide tempera paint and small brushes.

4.  Let the oohs and aahs begin!  

This is one of those projects that we do just for fun during free centers.  However, you could easily put this in a literacy center to reinforce spelling or sight words.  I can already see their eyes light up, because they can't wait to paint those words!
