Materials
2 – 3 barely inflated balloons, knotted
2 – 3 small bowls for the paint
Construction paper
Tape
Directions
Balloon painting is great fun, but needs to be closely supervised! J Tape a piece of construction paper to the table. Pour a small amount of paint into the bowls. Your balloons should be inflated with 1 or 2 breaths of air and be tied in a knot. If the balloon is too inflated, it’s hard for a little child to hold! Dip the balloon into one of the bowls of paint. Demonstrate how to bounce the balloon all over the paper. Saying “boun-cy, boun-cy, boun-cy” as you do it, encourages your child to bounce the balloon, rather than smear it on the paper. (And it’s fun to say!) Try it with several colors, or shades of color. The results are always unique!
