I love this activity for kindergartners because it's excellent for developing fine motor skills. Students first make a squiggly line that twists all over their entire paper- this is great for teaching big movements, and drawing with your whole arm, not just the hand. Then, students use paint to trace back over that line- this is much harder for them! Any kind of tracing practice is a great skill-builder. It's wonderful for strengthening all the little muscles in the hand, which means students have better control over their drawing materials. (And better handwriting!) Here's one of the finished paintings... they are beautiful!
