Materials
Plastic straws
Tempera Paint (slightly watered down)
Paper (construction paper or cardstock works best)

Directions
Place a piece of paper on surface for painting.
Ask your child to choose a paint color, and then place a few drops onto the paper.
Using a straw, invite your child to blow the paint. Continue with other colors, if desired. For added sparkle, sprinkle a small amount of glitter onto the wet paint.
Invite your child to describe what they see in the painting and encourage her to name the painting.
Allow the paint to dry before displaying the picture.
