Supplies Needed:
- Colored Craft Paper
- Letter “W” Cutout
- Glue
- Paint
- Straw
- Marker
Set Up:
We started by adding little drops of paint all over our letter “W”, then I showed my son how we could use the straw to blow the paint around, the way the wind blows against us. It worked fairly well though I had hoped to blend our colors more… In hindsight I would suggest watering down your paint a little bit so that the “wind” from your straw has an easier time blowing it around. We still had a great time painting this way and the next time we sat down to paint my son wanted to use a straw rather than a paint brush, so I guess he liked it. 🙂
We finished by talking about the uses of wind, (scatters seeds so new things can grow, can be used to make power, push boats, fly kites etc.)
Have you made this craft? What was your experience like and do you have an suggestions to make it better? I’d love to hear about them in the comments section below.
