I kind of had my heart set on doing a fizzy paint
version of Monet’s Water Lilies. But, I didn’t have all of the colors that I
needed (while I’m all for mixing colors, blue is a primary and I didn’t have
it). So, I decided to go for a water color version of a Renoir. We made a
cotton ball paint version awhile back, and I thought why not try something different?
In all honesty, this one didn’t exactly turn out as ‘garden-y’
looking as the cotton ball paint. But, it was fizzy fun. Encourage your child
to explore and experiment with the painting activity. Before you get started,
ask a few questions (to get the science part rolling). Ask her to predict what
will happen when you add the ingredients together. Make a list of her
predictions (she may have more than one). After you’re done with the activity,
check what actually happened against the predictions.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
Baking soda
·
White vinegar
·
Food coloring
·
A paintbrush
·
A muffin tin
Here’s What to Do:
1. Fill
each of the muffin tin’s compartments one-third of the way up with baking soda.
2. Drip
food coloring into the baking soda. Use a different color in each compartment.
The more that your child adds, the brighter it will be.
3. Stir
in the color and let it dry for an hour or so.
Now that the paint is ready to go, your child has a
few different choices when it comes to the actual art-making. In either case,
you want to prep for the mess. I used a piece of foam core board, but you can
also line your table with a flattened garbage bag. Your child can:
Sprinkle the paint onto the paper. Arrange it in a shape,
pattern or just randomly. Slowly pour the vinegar on top and watch as the paint
fizzes up on the paper. Your child can also use an eye dropper to gradually add
different amounts of vinegar. Compare what he difference is between small and
large amounts.
OR
Pour the vinegar directly into the muffin tin, on top
of the baking soda paint. The more that you pour the more it bubbles up. Be
careful, it may just erupt like a volcano and spill out everywhere. If this
happens, grab the paper and put it down around the muffin tin to catch a
Jackson Pollock type of paint splatter. If it doesn’t spill, your child can now
use the paints like regular water colors. It may not be fizzing like crazy, but
it will create bold colors that she can layer on with a brush.
