Fun Activity Friday - Painting with Straws!

How to make cool pictures with a little paint and some straws!

What you'll need:

Paint
Paper 
Straws
Paintbrushes (or fingers!)

I started this project by watering down a little brown paint and plopping a little on the paper. I had Evie take the straw and blow the paint around the page (I wanted to try and make a tree so I had to guide her a bit, but if you have little ones they will just blow the paint all over the paper which is totally fine! It makes a really cool pattern).

After she made the initial trunk we used paint brushes and our fingers to make leaves all around the tree. It ended up looking so cool and she had a great time! I think we did three that day she loved it so much!
