Pointer Finger Painting

Yesterday I visited Ryan’s preschool class and on the wall were many images of the letter “F”. How perfect! I brought  her to school on “my” day — F for Feldscher. And one way the kids illustrated the letter F was by finger painting over a lower case “f”and upper case “F” on construction paper. But, it was very neat. I learned they used only one finger — the index finger, or “pointer”, as the kids call it. Try it at home! But, it couldn’t hurt to be prepared for all those fingers getting in the act. So have a smock and newspaper or oil cloth on the surface, like the boy in this photo, just to be safe.
