Balloon Painting

Supplies

  • Balloons
  • Water
  • Paint
  • Paper
  • Plates
  • Optional: rice grains

Instructions

  1. Fill a balloon with water and tie a knot. We suggest you don’t overfill the balloon, as this will weaken the balloon.
  2. Pour paint onto a plastic plate. Repeat this step for as many colours as you would like.
  3. Dip the water balloon into the paint and dab it or roll it onto the paper.
  4. This is a great activity for younger children.

Adaptations

  • Fill up additional balloons with air or rice grains instead of water and begin painting. Do you notice any differences from painting with a balloon filled with water?
