COOPERATIVE ART PROJECT "ERUPTING PAINT"
We worked in small groups and first made baking soda paint (2 different colors for each group.
Supplies:
- liquid watercolor paint or food coloring
- baking soda
- water
- spoon
- vinegar, salt
- eye droppers
- watercolor paper
- paint brushes
Directions: To make baking soda paint, put 4 spoons of baking soda in a container and add water and liquid watercolor. Mix well. The measurements do not need to be exact. The basic rule is that you don't want the paint too runny or it won't fizz a whole lot. You don't want it too thick, or it won't spread easily. An even amount of liquid and baking soda works well. After making the paint, kids will work together and cover a watercolor paper with the two colors with the help of a brush. After painting the paper, provide eye droppers and a container of vinegar. You can also experiment by sprinkling salt onto the paper.
Using a visual such as the one below can help to get a conversation going:

FRIENDSHIP NECKLACES
Making something for another person is a great way of practicing perspective taking. First, we put photos of each camper in a opaque bag. Each camper drew a picture out of the bag. The camper depicted in the picture was the person the other camper made the necklace for. We worked really hard to complete our necklaces. Then, we handed the necklace to our friend, another great opportunity of performing and acknowledging acts of kindness.
