Add some paints, paper and even tissue to the reused plastic container and what do you get? Jackson Pollock style paint splatters, patterned prints and marbled looking artworks.

Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
A clear plastic strawberry (or other
fruit) container
·
Clear packing tape
·
Thin paper
Here’s What to Do:
1. Prepare
your work area – and your child – for the mess. I used a thick sheet of foam
core board, but am opened garbage bag, cardboard, vinyl table cloth or other
barrier will work to prep for this project.
2. Squeeze
a few different colors of paint into the bottom the plastic container. You don’t
have to cover it completely or actually fill the container up. Just add a few quarter-sized
dollops. Keep the container over a covered surface. The paint will start to
leak out as soon as you put it in.
3. Shake
it! Have your child shift and shake the container over a piece of white card stock.
If she wants to create a larger paint splatter use poster board or rolled
butcher paper.
4. Press
the container onto a piece of card stock paper. The paint that is left over
will squeeze out of the holes, creating a print.
5. Tape
the holes in the container. When your child is ready for a new way to play with
paint, completely cover all of the holes. Some paint may still leak out, so
keep it over your covered work surface. Add more paint—in at least three
different colors.
6. Open
the container and put a folded piece of paper or tissue paper inside.
7. Close
it up and let your child shake the artsy contraption. The paint will mix and blend as it coats the
paper.
Sounds like the conversations we have around here :) Great messy art!
