Jenny, who lives in India, sent in a painting activity with a twist. Let’s have a look…

What did you do?

This is a beautiful spice Painting with a twist. We made patterns out of our potato masher. It resulted in the most beautiful patterns and not to mention, the colours of spices were just fantastic! We used red chill powder, turmeric powder, mixed spice powder, and coffee (though it’s not spice, Worked for us!)

The patters were beautiful. You can allow free hand painting for your kid’s. My 3 year old son went ahead and painted with cinnamon and clove too ! And later brought in his cars.

Do you have any other projects planned?

Painting with fruit and vegetables natural colors.
