Five Fun Ideas with Paint!

Painting is such a fun way to unlock your child's creativity.  

It seems that no matter what kind of paint we're using 

~ watercolors, poster paint, acrylics, finger paint, etc. ~ 

I need to make sure we have plenty of paper on hand 

because my kids love cranking out tons of "masterpieces".

Here are Five Fun Ideas for using paint that were linked up to our Summer Fun party.  Check them out, then go have some painting fun of your own!

1.  Bubble Painting

{ Mom's Crafty Space }

You can't go wrong combining two kids' favorites, 

bubbles and paints, 

2.  Water Balloon Paint

{ My Oatmeal Kisses }

Letting your kids throw water balloons full of paint

would surely earn you a "Cool Mom Award"

3.  Salad Spinner Painting

{ Mom's Crafty Space }

How fun are these painted designs made 

using a salad spinner?

4.  Straw Painting

{ The Chocolate Muffin Tree }

And another version of Straw Painting HERE 

{ the Preschool Alphabet }

No matter how you do it, 

using a straw to paint sounds like fun!

5.  Mud Painting

{ Camp Slop }

Hey, if they're going to play in mud,

they might as well create a cool painting with it!

And don't forget the fun little ones can have without any paint at all!  

Painting with water can entertain your kids for quite awhile 

and there's no mess to clean up!
