Peppermint is one of the defining smells of the season! We added some peppermint extract to tempera paint and had a very jolly time in ACCESS last week! We had white, red, and green paints to choose from, and they all smelled fantastic! At Wilson Creek, students swirled the colors around on a large cardboard circle to create a peppermint candy. My Anna McDonald students used rulers to divide up their circles and painted the colors in a pattern. We completed the candy painting by wrapping plastic wrap around the cardboard. To make them even more festive, Mrs. Christensen gave us ribbon to tie on the ends. :) The one drawback to painting with the peppermint extract is that while it smells delightful while you are painting, the scent is almost completely gone once it dries.
