I found these fun squishy balls in the dollar bins at Target a while ago and have been waiting for the perfect day to use them for a little "splat painting!"
It was hot enough early this morning that we could just get right into our swimming suits and not worry about getting messy! So, I got out some paints and the kids dipped the balls into the colors,
...and started throwing them at our paper! Splat!
It took a little cooperation to get in the rhythm of dipping and throwing without hitting a friend with a splat ball, but everyone was so excited that they didn't even mind if they accidentally got painted!
We had lots of fun getting a great large-motor workout,
...made some really cool artwork,
...and got good and messy!
And, when we were done getting messy, we were all ready to go clean up in the swimming pools!
We worked hard today! :)
