Wheels Art

Fridays Art project is Wheels Art

As you can probably tell Junior loves to paint so we try to come up with lots of different painting ideas.
Another favorite for him is wheels art(painting with his cars).
You will need: paint, paper, various cars(different tread patterns), and stickers(optional)
We use our shallow tub for this one because Junior gets excited and the cars end up on the floor(tread marks on the paper are great but on my carpet, not so much).
I have done this one a couple different ways. We either put dots of paint around the edge of the tub so he can roll his cars in them before rolling them onto the paper. Or we put paint in a separate container and dip the wheels in it before placing them on the paper.
Roll the cars on the paper and see what cool designs the wheels leave behind, you can also put cars in the tub and rock it back and forth and side to side to roll the cars.
Let the paint dry and add car stickers if you want(Junior prefers Transformer stickers on his wheel art)
