Why

Let your fingertips walk like a spider! There’s no mess when you sing along while you paint spider prints with Color Wonder™ Fingerpaints.

Steps

  1. 1. Sing "The Eensy Weensy Spider." Pretend your fingers are the spider’s legs going up the waterspout. Isn’t it fun when they get all tangled up?
  2. 2. Dip your fingers into Color Wonder Fingerpaints. Walk them across the special Color Wonder Paper as you sing. Fill the paper with spider footprints.
  3. 3. For even more fun, show how the spider gets washed away by the rain. Slide your hand down the paper!
  4. 4. Air-dry your spider tracks before you hang up your picture.

- Henry O., family child care provider.

- Mona H., parent of ages 3 and 5.
