Friends.

Have you ever made a painting with shapes?

No?

Well, let me show you how easy it is.

All you need is paint, paper and a sponge that can be cut into shapes like this.

Oh, whatever shape you want.

And please, you let an adult cut the sponge for you, will you?

Then you decide what you want to make.

I think.

I think I'll try making a cat head and I'll start at the top.

What shape are a cat's ears?

They kind of look like triangles, don't they?

I don't want to get too much paint on the paper, so I'll blot some of it off on the newspaper.

Now, I'll put a triangle here and here.

There you go.

Two ears.

Now, how about the hand?

How about a round shape?

I've got a couple sizes of each shape, and I'm looking for a large round shape.

Which one is the largest?

This one or this one will choose this one.

The large round shape.

There.

But I think something's missing.

What do you think?

Oh, I know.

My cat needs a face.

What's on a cat's face?

How is it like your face and my face?

Well, there are two eyes and a nose and the mouth.

You've got all of those things to.

I think I'll use a smaller round shape for the eyes there.

That's one eye.

How many should it have?

Two?

That's right.

Let's see if we can get number two right here.

How about a nose?

What do you think?

How about another triangle, Smaller triangle right about here?

Here.

Well, there are two eyes and the nose.

Now I think I'll use a marker to put on the mouth.

Oh.

Seems like there's something missing.

Hmm.

Oh, I know Whiskers.

A cat has whiskers.

So... What do you think?

Does it look like a cat?

See what you can do with shapes.

Try it sometime
