Materials Needed

Easy. A paint brush and a cup of water. You probably have a paint brush already, but if you are looking for a deal, we found ours at The Dollar Tree.

Time to Play!

First.

Find something your mama will let you paint on and create! This is our front porch. And my son’s sock. 😛

Third.

Enjoy your creation and share it with someone! This one uses the splatter technique, too.

Here are some ideas for learning activities:

  1. Spelling– Call out a word, and a friend writes it with the water brush.
  2. Math– Give a friend a word problem. He/she solves it by “painting” a water picture.
  3. Storyboard-Create a storyboard, or pictures that tell your own story. Be sure to include a main character, problem, and resolution.
  4. Science– Draw things that you find in your yard.
