Participants: Ash, Lavender, Peony, Viola
Difficulty: Easy!
Prep: Five minutes or less - cut peppers in half, provide paper and paint. I used mini sweet peppers (don't use hot!) rather than the bell pepper pictured. Keep in mind that the longer peppers tend to flatten out in the middle and wouldn't provide that 3-4 petal stamp so try to choose shorter, rounder peppers.
Mess: A bit less mess than the usual finger painting since the pepper stamps took the brunt of the paint. Lavender in particular kept her hands pretty clean.
Cleanup: Again, a little less mess than a usual finger paint project, and since I use non-toxic finger paints I just used the peppers for lunch... Just kidding, they went in the compost!
Age Range: Even the babies could do this one (if they stay awake), lots of room for interpretive painting, and the peppers are safe for mouthing
Verdict: Great project - would totally do it again!
