Baggie painting is 1 of my favorite ways to pigment amongst lilliputian ones when I don't experience similar making a huge mess or when I bring a tike who hates getting their hands dirty!
My fille hates getting pigment on her hands as well as constantly wants to build clean them when nosotros are doing art, hence baggie ikon lets us brand beautiful creations without her getting super frustrated.
This fourth dimension nosotros painted nosotros also permit my 17 calendar month former participate, hence it was awesome to bring both kids creating at the same time!
Materials Needed: large ziploc baggies, pigment (we used liquid watercolors as well as tempera), cardstock cutting into jump shapes (we cutting ours into large flowers), as well as matchbox cars (optional).
Here's how to create...
Drop a cardstock shape into a large ziploc baggie, squirt inward some paint, as well as and then force the air out of the baggie earlier zipping it closed.
Note: If y'all don't force the air out earlier y'all zippo it closed, your tike powerfulness popular the purse as well as pigment volition explode out of it.
Have your lilliputian 1 role their hands to squish as well as movement the pigment around. My 17 calendar month former had fun driving cars over the pigment also to brand cool designs as well as squish it more.
If it is easier, role some painters record to record the baggie to the wall, table, or flooring hence it doesn't movement to a greater extent than or less equally much.
After a few minutes of squishing as well as pushing the pigment around, describe the painted shape out of the baggie as well as lay or hang it out to dry.
Note: This is non mess gratis for whoever pulls the blossom out of the painted baggie. That mortal volition become some pigment on their hands :)
Make certain y'all don't acquire out the newspaper inward the pigment filled baggie for also long or else it volition commencement getting also moist as well as the newspaper volition rip as well as autumn apart.
We made several painted flowers as well as and then hung them upwardly on our walls. We computer program to plough them into a Spring garland or banner to hang in 1 trial nosotros brand a few more. You could also role them to brand a Spring Flower mural (like I shared over at Life Your Way).
I loved that each 1 is a dissimilar color as well as has such a unique design. The 1 shown below has some glittery pigment on it hence when it moves it sparkles.
We loved talking nigh colors equally nosotros mixed them. This activeness is such a fun procedure centered fine art project.
If y'all are looking for to a greater extent than Spring blossom fine art & activities, hither are a few of our other favorite ones...
