Flyswatter Art

Hi Ya'll,  
If you live on the east coast as I do you probably spent the day sweating your tushy off!  Today  I had the kids do Flyswatter Art, and I thought I would share. WARNING (dun dun dun) this is a very messy/super fun project, but you can spray your kids off  with the garden hose when they are done, so with the heat this equals a HUGE win win! For this fun craft you need

Tempera Paint (washable)- as many colors as you would like.

paper plates- 1 for each color of paint. 

1 flyswatter

White paper

1 bucket of water

1 roll of paper towels. 

At least one bored and miserably hot child

This craft is best done outside.

First you want to lay your paper plates out (one plate for each color). Squirt a good amount of paint in each plate.

Next lay your blank piece of paper on a table or sidewalk.

Dip your flyswatter into a color of your choice and........ SLAP THE PAPER!!!! (I thought the table was going to break at one point.. kids LOVE it).

Dip your flyswatter into different colors and continue. BE CREATIVE...

 When your done simply place the flyswatter in the bucket of water to rinse. 

Hang your Flyswatter Art up to dry. These paintings make beautiful art work for your home. Put your kids creativity on display! Have fun, and Happy Swatting...
