Painting Activities - Paint Splatter

These painting activities are also called Spilled Milk. It is a great fine motor activity because children need to use a dropper to drop the paint on the paper. I build up the excitement by a drum roll before opening the paper to reveal the painting. The kids can not wait to discover what design their 'spilled milk' left behind.
