Roll On Painting

Don’t toss those used up roll on deodorant bottles; reuse them as roll on paint bottles.

Here is what I did.  I ran the empty bottles through the dish washer twice to make sure that there was no deodorant left in the bottles.

I did not fill the bottle up with paint, I placed shallow bowls with a little bit of paint in them.  The children simple rolled the bottle through the paint dish and then onto their paper.

Recycle and Reuse

Finding creative ways to reuse trash items, that will improve the preschool classroom and the yearly budget.  It is getting harder and harder to make the yearly budget stretch, with materials prices rising and my yearly budget shrinking it is hard to find ways to provide enough material for the children in the classroom.   

Cut a milk jug down form the mouth about half way and then cut across, leaving the hand on for the children to be able to hold.  Next tie a paint brush to the handle, this will help with keeping the brushes with the bucket. 

We purchased the brushes at the dollar store so the cost was a $1.00 for four brushes.
