Painting The Great Outdoors

Summer is here and just like last year we will be posting some fun and easy activities throughout the summer to help you keep your children entertained. Here is an idea, paint outside instead of in. It’s more fun and easier to clean up.

Here’s what you will need!

Liquid tempera paints

Plastic pump bottle or squirt gun

One old bed sheet

A clothesline

Instructions

· Fill a squirt bottle with 1 part paint and 2 parts water mixture

· Adjust the nozzle for the desired pattern

· Hang the bed sheet on the clothesline

· And let your child start shooting at the bed sheet

· Paint can still stain so, make sure your children are not in shooting range of anything they can ruin.


They can create patterns, spell out letters or paint an elaborate landscape. It’s all up to their imagination.
