- Use the sponges and different colours of paint to completely cover your heart. While you are working think about these questions:
- What painting tool do you like to use? Why?
- Do the sponges look different when you stamp them with the paint?
- What shapes do you see?
- Look at the different shapes. Why do you think new shapes are created when 2 colours mix on your paper?
