This is a really simple Halloween art idea that can easily be completed by children as young as two. We talked about fall harvest items this week such as apples, squash, and gourds. Our parents brought in gourds for the children to be able to examine and afterwards each child painted a gourd to bring home. They loved this art project!
Materials:
-gourd
-acrylic paint (white and black)
-paint brushes
-newspaper to cover work area
Preparation:
Prepare your work space by covering it with newspaper or art mats if you have them available. Place the white acrylic paint into a container. As you will have to wait for the white paint to dry you can hold off putting out black paint until the gourd is ready.
