Sensory painting is a great sensory art activity that appeals not only to the visual side of your child, but to his olfactory sense as well.

This kind of “sensory” art is so important for children,  giving them a way to examine, discover, categorize and make sense of the world around them.

For this activity, we painted brown bears with coffee grounds and white paint.

Using paint brushes, students “scooped” the coffee grounds and paint onto their papers, creating their very own brown bears!
