I've done spice painting before with L, but I thought it would make a great group activity as well! So I told everyone to raid their spice cabinet for old spices (no hot spices) and bring a bottle or two of white glue. I poured a bit of glue into tiny plastic cups and added water to dilute it, then we let the kids help add the spices to the glue. Then the fun began!

What a awesome idea! Thanks
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I can only imagine the smells! We need to try this soon....with cheap spices!
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! Saw you on Pinterest! Great opportunity to teach children American Indians painted with spices, and other things from the earth. This would make an AWESOME Thanksgiving children's art piece!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work, you are influencing the future artists!!!

I love this! I'm always looking for ways to engage our 5 senses.
ReplyDeleteHi, I stopped by because you were mentioned too in the post of quirky momma 'Learning and playing with Food'.
ReplyDeleteI like your blog. Lots of intresting activities. My son will love these things (he is 2 years old).
This is a great idea! Aromatic, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteWe have a cabinet full of spices, and we have never used them for painting. I can't wait to try this idea!! Thanks for sharing your idea with us!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea I've never come across it but can just imagine the colours and sense that would be involved. This would be so great to do some "cave painting art"
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Such a mix of colour and smell - great idea for sensory art.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! Thanks for the inspiration! I write a blog called Carrots Are Orange (www.carrotsareorange.com) and would live to link back to this post at some point in the future! I'll be sure to let you know and give you proper credit! Well done mama!!
ReplyDeleteIt would never have occurred to me to paint with spices - great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love that you asked the participants to clear out their old spices and bring them- what a fun idea for an art with kids play date!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I'd thought of mixing spices with water to make paints but not with glue... that could work much better! Perhaps i'll try it both ways. Found your blog via 'make do and friend' :) Debs
ReplyDeleteAwesome ideas in your blog! Love it, will try to incooperate this spice activity with our little playgroup as well, will link you in my blog too!(www.ourcap.blogspot.com) Great job! :)
