Out Door Art – Spray Paint Art

Think arts and crafts are for rainy days? Think again! On Friday, September 9 preschoolers met at the Nesconset Branch of the Smithtown Library for Spray Paint Art. After songs and silly stories about colors, counting and painting, preschoolers used spray bottles, filled with diluted paint to spray color on large piece of paper. The best parts of out door art – the colorful nature that surrounds you for inspiration and the outdoors makes clean up a breeze!

Fun with Fingerpaints @ The Nesconset Branch!

Today at the Nesconset Branch, we rolled up our sleeves, threw on our smocks, and got down and dirty with finger paint! Children ages 2-3 years old with their parents and caregivers joined us for songs and stories, and visited different painting stations, that featured various brushes, rollers and stamps! The masterpieces youngsters created are now on display in the Children’s Department.
