Having looked at the weather report today I decided that if I want to do outdoor activities with the kids I needed to do them this week, so today we have been Burst Painting. To do this you will need:
A large sheet of paper, some liquid paint, a pack of balloons, and a bowl of soapy water and a cloth (this last one isn't necessary for the activity, but is necessary if you don't want paint-covered children tramping through your house!)
Step 1: Put some paint in a balloon, I left it dribbling for approx 5 - 10 seconds as an approximate amount.
Step 2: Add a few more colours, then blow up and tie balloon. You very quickly learn to make sure you
are blowing AT ALL TIMES when the balloon is not being pinched. Liquid
paint does not taste nice.
Step 4: Repeat as many times as you like, with a variety of colours. This is our masterpiece:
A large sheet of paper, some liquid paint, a pack of balloons, and a bowl of soapy water and a cloth (this last one isn't necessary for the activity, but is necessary if you don't want paint-covered children tramping through your house!)
Step 3: Put the balloon on the sheet of paper and burst with a pin. Be prepared for very painty-legged children and a lot of pieces of balloon all over your garden.
