2. Pour paint into shallow pans (at least two of each color) and place them on
the table.
3. Help the children put on smocks.
4. Give each child a piece of white paper and a toy car. Ask them to roll the
wheels of the car through a pan of paint.

More to do
Ask the children to think of other objects they could use to make tracks. Try making
tracks with those objects and then compare the different types of tracks.
