Art Project #100-- Water Balloon Art
Since our Balloon Splatter Painting activity was such a huge hit, I thought we should try an art project using water balloons.
With the hot summer days finally upon us I thought this would be a fun and cool project to use to end our 100 Days of Art Challenge.
We took canvas outside and splattered paint all across them. We used regular tempera paint; we wanted something water soluble but thick enough to hold up to all the water.
We then filled up our water balloons and the boys started throwing the balloons at the canvas to splatter and mix the paint around. Sure a lot of the paint ran off the sides of the canvas once they were quite wet and saturated but I just encouraged the boys to try adding some more paint.
Once we were out of balloons and everyone liked their project we left them in the sun to dry.
We loved the interesting patterns!

| We just love these water balloons! They are so much easier to fill than traditional water balloons! |

Linking Up With: Craft Schooling Sunday,
What a fun idea! My 4 year old would love this. That's a great picture of the paint splashing up as the water balloon hit, btw. :) Stopping by from This is How We Roll link up.
ReplyDeleteThanks; I was pretty impressed with the timing of that picture also. It was a lot of fun! Messy, but fun.
Deletewhat a brilliant idea - my kids would LOVE this, as would I! And the end results are fantastic. #FabFridayPost
ReplyDeleteI was tempted to join in myself but we only had three canvases. It was a lot of fun.
DeleteYour kids must have so much fun with these type of projects. Love that you created 100 art projects and will be featuring this in my Summer Time Link Party roundup.
ReplyDeleteThey sure do! This was one particularly fun. Thanks so much for the feature.
DeleteWhat an awesome art project! I've not seen this before! Looks like so much fun! Loving how all of these turned out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!!
It was so much fun!
DeleteWow, now THIS is called summer crafting! Love the results and the process, thanks for sharing on craft schooling Sunday!
ReplyDeleteMaybe next time you could make some t-shirts or sweatshirts?
Thank you! We love bringing messy art projects outside in the summer sun. We've made some sort of t-shirt every summer so far. I'm trying to come up with a new and unusual idea for this year's shirt.
