The Clubhouse is the Behavioral Intervention Association's (http://www.bia4autism.org) after-school program. Once a week, children between the ages of 5 and 12, who have communication and social challenges, meet and engage in fun activities to practice different social skills. The Explorers focus on skills such as staying with the group, greetings, turn taking, participating independently in activities, and brief exchanges with peers. The Adventurers focus on skills such as initiating and maintaining conversations, perspective taking, and negotiating with peers.

Summer Camp "Friendship Rocks": Milk Painting



Milk Painting is another activity that will produce lots of 'ahhs, oohs and wows.' The basic concept of this project is that when you add a little bit of dish soap to milk and some food coloring, the colors burst and swirl around to form an abstract painting.

MILK PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS

 Materials


  • Milk
  • Dish soap
  • Q-tips
  • Food coloring
  • Shallow bowl or deeper tray
  • water color paper

Instructions

  • Fill a tray or bowl with milk so the bottom of the bowl/tray is fully covered with milk.
  • Add drops of different colors of food coloring. 
  • Dip the end of a Q-tip in dish soap.
  • Dip the Q-tip into the milk touching a drop of food coloring.
  • Watch the colors burst. It will only work for a little while since the more dish soap is in the milk the less the colors will burst.
  • Gently swirl the Q-tip through the different colors.
  • Before the colors begin to mix too much and become brown place a piece of watercolor paper onto the colors, gently press it down and lift it up again.
