by Lori
What You Need:
- Paint
- Paper
What You Do:
- Have your children draw a picture of an outside scene (their house, playing on the playground, etc) then have them put a few drops of light blue (almost clear) paint on the edge of a piece of paper. Using a straw have them blow the paint across the paper. This looks really neat and is a great way to symbolize wind in art.
