Painting Baskets is a lot of Work!

At the close of this project the children finally get a chance to paint their baskets.  We used brown paint to represent the colour of wood.  Matthew suggested that we just "dip" the baskets in a big bucket of paint because using a brush takes too long.  Through this process the children wondered if there was paint, glue, tape and paint brushes in the olden days.  Plant dyes were used as paint in the olden days and this will be the next topic that we will explore.
