Fall Themed Activity

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all enjoying the Fall weather and color changes.

In the spirit of the Fall season, we thought we would show you guys a fun and easy activity to do at home.

This week in my OT groups, I had my students make “puffy paint.” “Puffy paint” is super easy to make and is a lot of fun to paint with.

Here are the directions:

1. First, find a coloring page with a Fall theme
   1. For my class, we used this outline of an apple
   2. 
2. Then gather the ingredients to make “puffy paint”
   1. Shaving cream
   2. Liquid glue
   3. Colored paint
      1. 
3. First, squeeze shaving cream about half way into a cup
4. Then, squeeze a lot of liquid glue into the cup with the shaving cream
5. Using a spoon, mix the two ingredients together
6. Then, add 3-5 drops of colored paint into the mix
7. Using the same spoon, mix in the paint
8. Then, scoop some of the mixture onto the apple outline and spread it using the spoon
   1. IMPORTANT: do not spread the “puffy paint” too thin, you want to make sure the “puffy paint” is nice and fluffy
9. Let your masterpiece dry over night
10. Enjoy your awesome work!
    1. Here is an example of a student’s AWESOME work!

This activity is great for visual motor integration, bilateral coordination, and sensory!

That is it for this week! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to comment!

Have a great rest of the week!
