How to get dyes?

Here are some recipes for making paints:

  1. 100 grams of blueberries are infused for two days in 100 g of alcohol or 100 g of berries are boiled for thirty minutes in 300 cm3 of water.
  2. 15 g of finely chopped cherry bark are infused for 24 hours in 50 cm3 of water, then boiled for an hour and filtered. You can infuse 15 g of bark in 50 g of alcohol without boiling.
  3. Chop fresh mantle roots with a knife, pour into a vessel at the rate of 40 g of roots per 100 g of water and put on fire. Boil for about twenty minutes, then strain through a cloth and evaporate the broth until thick.
  4. Place the crushed lichen in a glass or test tube and pour in a solution of potassium hydroxide or soda. After three minutes you get good paint;
  5. Rub 1 red beet through a coarse grater, place in an enamel pan and add water so that the latter covers the beets. Cover the pan tightly with a lid and simmer over low heat for 1 hour. Then drain the liquid, squeeze out the pulp, add a pinch of citric acid to the solution so that the solution does not change color and is brighter, strain, cool.

Finger painting

The finger painting technique was used by Ruth F. Show, around 1932, as she needed to overcome problems that arose in her school. This technique, according to Ruth Shaw's observations, helped the children who attended her school get rid of fears and depression. This technique was later implemented by P. Napoli (1946, 1951).

This technique was used to reveal the basic characteristics of personality. Finger painting made it possible to reveal sincere manifestations of personality, creating conditions for self-expression. Finger painting puts minimal strain on the arm muscles and has no patterns. The drawings always turn out bright and interesting.

Shaw and Lyle argue that finger painting is one of the ways to develop an individual's imagination.

Finger paints are used for finger painting.

These are water-based paints, they wash off clothes very well without leaving any stains. You can paint with such paints not only with your fingers, but also with a brush. It’s just that children are often too young to confidently hold a brush in their hands, so drawing with their hands is a priority in this case. It is worth noting that finger paints do not spread at all, which gives the child the opportunity to paint on any surface, including glass or plastic.

The developmental impact of such paints on a child lies primarily in the development of fine motor skills. He learns to control his fingers, bright colors help this a lot. The child also learns about the world, he sees different colors and understands that he has the opportunity to choose one or another option.

Today, there are several ways to paint with finger paints: painting with your palms, painting with a household sponge, drawing with stamps, using stencils. Painting with finger paints is a preparatory stage for the transition to painting with a brush, it teaches you to feel the boundaries of the sheet, and has a positive effect on the development of imaginative thinking [9] .

The “finger painting” technique allows you to use paints based on natural dyes. Such paints are “edible” and nothing bad will happen if a small amount of them gets into your mouth. Delicious natural ingredients to add to your finger paints:

  • for pink color – beet juice;
  • for bright orange, choose carrots, orange or tangerine zest;
  • green color can be obtained with dill or spinach. Steam the greens in boiling water, and then strain through cheesecloth;
  • black currants give a purple color (the best variety is “barberry”);
  • brown color can be obtained by adding coffee or chocolate;
  • for bright yellowness - turmeric;
  • red color can be obtained from: cranberries, lingonberries, cherries, red currants, dogwoods, barberries;
  • Raspberries will give a crimson color.
