Today, I spray-painted with 40 preschoolers.
It was awesome.
Everyone shared their space, shared their stretch of paper, and shared their spray bottles of paint. There was no six-way fight for the color pink, as I'd feared. (Almost) no one sprayed their friends, and (almost) everyone kept the colors on the paper.
I mixed one part Crayola washable tempera paint with 12 parts water in each sprayer bottle, so all affected clothing and body parts should recover.
Kids practiced writing letters with the paint, took turns sharing supplies, and worked together to mix colors on the paper. Of the four projects we've done thus far, this one definitely held their interest the longest.
Next week: a calm, glue-based activity.

P.S. Anybody got a fun idea for what we can do with 75 feet of spray painted paper?
