Stick Garden

The kids and I painted some sticks to decorate our garden. The kids absolutely loved this project! In general, painting on something that isn't paper really ups the kids' interest in the project. Cut up your cereal boxes into shapes and watch your kids paint for twice as long! Let your kids paint sticks (or rocks) and watch them paint 4 times as long!

I got the idea for the project from one of my favorite blogs, Fun Projects for Preschoolers. Here's the tutorial.
