Put fingerpaint into small containers. Have the children trade and take turns using each color. Say, "Do you want a different color? Let's trade with Beatrice. She can have red and you can have blue." You may need to model this. Have some paint cups that you can trade. Say, "I will trade with you, Anthony."
