I always love using things found around the house when doing art activities. The kids always look surprise when I hand it to them and tell them to play with it. It’s as if they’re thinking, “Mommy’s gonna get mad!”…. “Are you sure?”

For this activity, I decided to make use of sponges, water pistols, spray bottles, roller brushes and scrubs! Whatever I saw lying around… I used! And the kids had so much fun using them too!

What you will need

  • Big white paper (Cartolina)
  • Water pistols
  • Spray bottles
  • Sponge
  • Floor Scrubs
  • Paint
  • Tape


What to do:

Step 1: Tape the large piece of paper on a wall. This makes it easier for the kids to paint!

Make sure though that you don’t mind that part of the wall getting stained, because the paint WILL scatter!

Step 2: Place the paint in flat containers for easier access. Place paint inside the water pistols and spray bottles as well.

Step 3: Let the kids have their fun!

Use scrubs and sponges

Using rolling brushes

Using water pistols

Using spray bottles

 

Feel free to use ANY material you can think of and make it as fun as possible for the kids! The abstractness of the activity is what made it fun!

Don’t they look wonderful? I bet we can hang these up in a museum now! :)
