Today’s project is called “Balloon Painting.” And just like it sounds, we are using balloons to create masterpieces.
I’m always looking for creative ways to involve lil man and let him show his creative side.
But lately, paint brushes & finger painting has gotten boring and quite frankly-over rated. There has been times he picks up the paint brush, makes one stroke to make me happy and walks away.
But when I gave him full control on this balloon painting project, I could not pull him away. It was something different that he could experiment with. Not to mention, the balloons made a funny sound when we squeeze them on our canvas. Overall it was a fun afternoon, trying something different.
If you would like to recreate this DIY craft idea with your little one today, keep scrolling for the full how-to! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts
Here are the supplies we used for our balloon painting craft:
* Large Blank White Canvas
* Various Balloons
* Craft Paint
* Paper Plate
Directions:
* Then comes the fun! Instruct your child to dip each balloon in the paint, then onto the canvas. The balloons will make a dot pattern on your canvas. For added fun, have the balloon colors match the paint, so you can turn it into a learning lesson. Green balloon gets dipped in green paint, then on the canvas.
* Have them repeat the process, until they get the design they want. {Balloons can be cleaned off with water/towel if you want to be able to use multiple colors, but not have them all run together}
* Once your child is done creating their masterpiece, let dry completely.
