Painting with Feathers

The activity I am going to share with you today is what I call a "closet activity." What that means is that I had no idea what to do with the kids, so I opened up our craft closet and pulled out some items. This day I pulled out some paint and feathers. I have never painted with feathers before but it sounded fun.
Supplies you will need:

• Paper
• Paint
• Feathers

Pour a small amount of paint into a cup. We used 3 colors and I thought that was a good number to give variety and create interesting art.

Provide each child with paint cups and feathers and just let them explore with the paint.

B liked the different texture that the feather provided.

"A" used her feather to swirl her colors. First she just used the tip.

Then she used the flat side to spread the paint around.

B experimented with using the pointy side of the feather. It worked almost like a quill.
