Painting to Music

What to do:

  1. Put paper and paint within easy reach of children.
  2. Turn on CD player, Ipod, or the radio and watch children as they paint to the music.
  3. Change to faster or slower-paced music and see if it affects the little artists. Do not leave children unattended. Do not allow them to taste the paint.
