July is fast approaching. Celebrate this week by spending some time with your kids.
Have a blast this making these explosive designs: bursts of paint that resemble fireworks in the sky.
First gather these materials;
Acrylic paint
Drinking straw
Paintbrush
Paper (or card stock)
Water
1. For each color, in a paper cup, dilute some acrylic paint with water to a runny consistency.
2. Using a paintbrush, drip a few drops of paint onto a piece of paper or card stock (be sure to rinse the brush between colors), then hold a drinking straw directly over each puddle of paint and blow gently to create a spectacular star burst effect.
Make your own sidewalk chalk using cornstarch, food coloring and water. Find out how here. Then paint fireworks on the side walks and driveway to celebrate the 4th of July. Thanks to Frugal Family Fun Blog and Kiddio.org for the great frugal idea.
