    Painting with Tractors

    Published: Aug 14, 2013 by Blair Lonergan

    Since we’re focused on “Farms” this week, I decided that an appropriate art activity should combine both paint and TRACTORS. This was an easy project to pull together, considering the over-abundance of toy tractors in our house, yard, sandbox, etc. They are everywhere.

    Painting with Tractors

    We used the following supplies:

    Supplies

    Washable tempera paint, paint tray liners, toy tractors, poster board.

    I just poured some paint into each tray liner, placed a tractor alongside, and let the boys go at it!

    Orange Paint

    Green Paint

    Purple Paint

    This was a fun way to spend some time outdoors on a relatively cool, cloudy summer day. I definitely recommend the washable tempera paint, however, because it’s not exactly a “clean” project.

    The boys loved to see the different tire tracks that each vehicle made. If you used primary colors, you could even include a color theory lesson at the same time!
