A two day creation; everyone helped. Tracing, tracing attempts, tempera cakes, spilling water, ripping paper, laughing, more painting, more spilling water, much more ripping - it really is all about the process. But the product is on the wall.
As a side note, I LOVE Tempera Cakes
. I cannot recommend them enough! I bought one tray to try them out with the children, and it went really well. In the future, I'd like to use ones that are just the cakes to mix and match in the tray so that children and teachers can pick and choose a few colors rather than have all of them. But these were great.

Hi, you might be interested in my recent post about working with early painters on our blog Making Art with Children. I'm an educator at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, MA and we also love tempera cakes! We make our own sets of primary colors + black and white (materials sources are listed on the post). http://www.carlemuseum.org/studioblog/?p=592 Thanks!
