Mom to Mom – Squirt Gun Painting

Today, on Mom to Mom, we’re going to help your kiddos out with that summertime boredom.

If your kids are already bored this summer, we’ve got the perfect activity for them… squirt gun painting! So, all you’re going to need for this is an easel, some watercolor paper, some watercolor paints, and some squirt guns. So, all you have to do for this fun activity is take your watercolor, whatever color your kids want, stick it into the squirt guns. You just put a little bit in there. Then you fill the rest up with water. Then you take your watercolor paper and your easel outside. It’s best outside. Let ’em have at it! Just spend as long as they want on this watercolor painting. Now, if you don’t have an easel, that’s okay, you could probably hang it up. Pin it to the deck if you have one or maybe a string, tie it to two ends. However, you can, it works perfectly, or you can just lay it on the grass. Another reason why we love this watercolor painting is because it’s washable, so they can make as big a mess as they want all outside with their squirt guns.

So hopefully these ideas help you. Send your photos to us on our Facebook page and be sure to check out our Mom To Mom page for more tips.
