Cave Paintings

We are getting underway studying Ancient History, beginning with a unit on cave dwellers and the Stone Age. We took advantage of a lovely spring afternoon to get a little messy with this project!

Our "cave" was a large piece of packing paper taped to the shed:

Our painting materials:
- A large bowl of mud mixed with a bit of Crisco (in place of animal fat)
- A bowl with a bit of crushed charcoal. We added some crumbles of charred wood from the fire pit once we took these outdoors.
- A bowl of blackberries to smush up to add some color

And some cave paintings!
