Ziploc Bag & Paint
I was inspired by this post on Let's Explore to try this technique at home because it looks so entertaining, uses only two ingredients, and no mess! Frankly I had a lot of fun with it before I even gave it to my son.
How we did it:
Materials List
- sandwich bag / small ziplock bag
- paint
- tape
-
Simply squirt paint into ziploc bags and make sure they are sealed shut (you can add tape if you're nervous about your kids opening them).
-
Adding two colors is an interesting way to experiment with color mixing. Older kids can practice writing their letters.
-
We also experimented with running various things over the paint - toy cars, a small pumpkin, and even Baba got in on the action! If you tape the bag to your table, kids can come by and play with it over and over!
