"I like this a lot, it makes me want to start a garden- because I love flowers!"
-Allie, 4 (Little kids camp)
The kids were encouraged to use forks and paint to create the impression of a tulip in the grass. Using forks they mixed together paints of various colors and pressed it down on plain white paper, leaving a tulip-like impression, this seemed to be the most difficult part of the project for most of the kids. After they created the flowers, they used popsicle sticks dipped in green paint to make stems, which seemed to be the easiest part because "it was all just straight lines". Then whatever was left over of the green paint was used to make grass, which ended up being more of finger painting than fork painting.
