Hi Mollye!

You can absolutely use elbow macaroni! When we created this the intention was to have kids dip their elbow into paint and then “stamp” the page with their elbow. Both options would be super entertaining, don’t you think?!?

Warmly,
Alex

I’m so excited about this! I’m an art teacher and was having to really re-think my plan for a certain really low K5 this year. Planning to use this as a starter activity for their art time.
Thank you!!

Thank you so much!

Hi Paula,
Thanks for reaching out.
Ice cube painting is painting with ice cubes. Using an ice cube tray, drop in 5-6 drops of food coloring in each of the compartments.
You can use different colors in different compartments, or even mix colors to create new ones. Then, fill each of the compartments with water, stir with a toothpick, and allow it to freeze overnight.
The next day, you can pop out the cubes and use them to paint. It does get a little messy, but it’s a fun art activity for kids!
Warmly,

I’m trying to help my son and his wife teach my 4 yr old granddaughter. They are hard working parents who don’t have as much time with the kids that I do. I hate them to be stuck inside all the time watching TV.
