Gather fingerpaints, fingerpaint paper, small squares of cardboard, small plastic vehicles and tape. Attach the fingerpaint paper to the table with tape. Encourage the children to cover the paper with paint. Next, give each child a cardboard square and ask the children to create roads by scraping the cardboard across the paper. As they scrape, the paint goes away. Talk about what the children are doing: “You're making a road. That's a long road. That's a short road.” Encourage them to drive their vehicles on the roads.
