Fish Getting Hammered

It's not what you think!  Because Friend "H" loves hammers so very much, today we used hammers to paint fish for our ocean scene!  (Learn more about Letter Links here.)  It was just WAY TOO fun!

We put fish shaped paper in a box.  Then the children chose which color paint spots they wanted.  Ms. Harmony dropped in the paint and covered the fish with wax paper.  Then the children hit all the paint spots with a hammer.  They loved watching the spots change from small to big, colors mix together, and of course, the gross motor action of this kind of art!

Take a look at these little beauties!
