Spin Painting

Another fabulous recommendation from the book

Materials
Salad spinner
Tempera paints
Variety of paper, coffee filters, comics

Take the inner strainer out of the salad spinner. Place a piece of paper or coffee filter at the bottom of the bowl. Put the strainer back in. Put one teaspoon each of different colored tempera paints in the bottom of the strainer. Put the lid on. Show your child how to spin the salad spinner. Once you've spun it around twenty times, stop and take the inner strainer out to see the beautiful piece of spin art you've created. Experiment with color combinations and different kinds of paper.
