Pine Cone Rolling

Today at school the children did pine cone rolling in art. There were long white strips of paper stretched out horizontally on the table, four pine cones and four colors of paint.

Like this.
The children had to roll the pine cone in paint, pick it up and transfer it to the paper and roll it on the paper. OOOO! Just imagine all the sensory information the children received from touching the cool, gooey paint and from rolling those little prickly pine cones.
Also each artist got lots of practice rolling from left to right and crossing the midline of their bodies. It's not just art - it's art with purpose!
