Painting is FUN!

We did a couple of painting activities today and the kids enjoyed them both. Of course, anything involving paint is fun for a kid!

First we did fly swatter painting. $2 at the dollar store got me 4 fly swatters, which they used with vigor to "paint." I dripped some paint (3 colors of their choice) on some paper and they took it from there. The end result is pretty neat.

Later in the day, the kids painted fireworks. Black paper for the night sky, cardboard tubes cut accordingly (Levi got to help do this) and red, white, and blue paint to instill some patriotism! 1 week until the real thing!
