Make a Foil Painting

What You Do:

1. Cover a piece of matte board or cardboard with aluminum foil, folding the foil around the back of the board. Tape the foil down.
2. Pour 1/2 a cup of tempera paint into a paper cup. For every color paint you want to use, use a different cup.
3. Add 1 teaspoon of dishwashing liquid to the thick tempera paint and mix well. This mix helps the paint adhere to foil, plastic, and other glossy surfaces. If it still won't stick, add 1/2 teaspoon of additional dishwashing liquid to the mixture.
4. Paint pictures on the foil using your new paint. Set the project aside to dry, then hang it up in her room or around the house. You can vary this activity by covering a box, bottle, or picture frame with foil and painting as above to create some cool gifts!
