Paper Plate Snail

Bekah loves bugs! Slimy bugs, flying bugs, any kind of bugs. So, when I saw this color mixing snail craft that Allie posted on Family Education I couldn't wait to make it with her.


I put a glob (yes, that's a very technical term)of blue and yellow finger paint on a white paper plate and let her mix away.



I really wasn't sure if she would like using her hands to do this. She went through a stage where she really didn't like getting all messy. As you can see....that has changed! She loved it!

After the paint dried I drew a spiral on the plate and we cut out her snail.
