Flower Painting

It is not spring at preschool if I don't go home with a pocket full of dandelions each day!  Our sweet children love to pick them and give them to us.  Today we decided to make use of the lovely flowers growing on our playground and paint with them.
 First, we gathered the flowers.

 We found many different kinds.
 Then we sorted them by color.  Yellow, white, purple, and green.
 Then it was time to paint.
 The children really seemed to like this outdoor fun.
 Some used one color, some used all of the colors.
 Not everyone wanted to paint, but most did.  
 It was interesting to watch the children explore the different textures of the flowers, and how they marked the paper.
 Such a fun and easy way to paint together.  
Beautiful!
