Kids Paintings - Air
Painting
Kids'
paintings do not only have to be made with their hands. With air
painting children get to use their mouths instead.
I
found that children enjoy using straws for different activities. I
believe that kids are fascintaed by manipulating things, moving them,
and just plain old shaking things up just by blowing air.
Air
is magical; from making bubbles in a cup of chocolate milk to blowing
up a balloon or seeing a windmill blow in the wind.
With
air painting, children get to simply blow air on the paint and see how
it begins to spread on the paper.
As
a follow up, you can ask the children what do they see in the paint. An
image of a cat? or maybe a bird?
***Paint
is usually thick, I recommend diluting it with some water.

preparation time)
