Blow Painting

We did a very simple blow painting activity on Friday.  Albie and H were very excited, they said it was like "real art attack"!


We used liquid water colour paints for this activity which worked really well, the children had great fun blowing their paint across the paper.  Albie figured out he could dab and scrape his straw across the paper to give a very different effect which also worked well.  I figured out that if you put your straw very close to the paper and blow very gently the paint bubbles up, I managed to blow some quite large bubbles before the popped with a splat, also creating a great effect on the paper.


The finished paintings were lovely.

















However, a word of warning, if you choose to recreate this activity at home and attempt the bubble blowing and popping method, this can happen........
