Slide Painting

Pin It
Use a slide or easel to pour paint and create art with kids.

A few weeks ago I shared a Kids Window Art activity we did that involved the use of watered down tempera paint. I had some of that paint leftover and I am pretty frugal so I wanted to find another use for it. Since it was very runny, I thought it would be fun to pour and splatter it. I thought about doing this on an easel (which would yield similar results) but decided to use our slide to watch our paint drip. Slide painting is a great way for kids to explore the effect of gravity on paint. We used two methods of slide painting, dripping and pouring, and we loved the results of both.

Exploding Milk Experiment

Pin It
Find out how to make Exploding Milk in vibrant colors. My kids were amazed!

Have you ever started out doing one thing and ended up with something totally different? That's what happened with our exploding milk experiment. It started off as a completely innocent experiment using milk, food coloring and dish soap and ended up as a bubbly, fizzy adventure. We did all of these activities at once but you can split them up over a series of days culminating with the exploding milk experiment.
