Here is a very messy, but really fun art project I did with my kids last fall. It’s called Splat Painting. We had a blast with this one.
Supplies:
Washable paints
Plastic cups
Small sponges
Spatulas or large spoons
Large piece of paper
I used newsprint paper. I have a huge roll that I bought from our local newspaper. They sell the roll ends for really cheap. Or you could use butcher paper or whatever you happen to have.
Pour a little paint into the cups and water it down quite a bit. Soak the sponges in the paint/water mixture. Roll out your paper outside- make sure your kids are in clothes you din’t care about. Put the sponges on the paper in various places and let the kids smack them with spatulas or large spoons. The paint will splatter all over making a beautiful, colorful work of art.
Ready to go!
I love this action shot!
