Invisible Gloves
I often find myself walking into the lounge at lunch time with marker on my hands. Anyone else out there seem to attract Crayola like your skin has a magnetic appeal for the rainbow effect? In our room we paint, use playdough and have markers readily available for literacy center use. I have found a little *magic* that makes painting a breeze that I'd thought I'd share.
Introducing.... invisible gloves!
Can you see them? I also sometimes call them liquid gloves with my kids and they think it's fantastic. No more hands dyed red as you head to music class or green-stained palms for the next three days. Gotta love hand-print projects even more now!
It dries clear and makes hand washing simplified after projects and much more effective since the skin has a barrier between it and the paint! Instead of mixing in soap, etc. to your paint this is a great kinder-perfect alternative. Here are some fun snapshots of kinderprints in action.
