Squirt Gun Art

I was on the hunt for fun things the kids and I could do while I was on vacation after spending several days at Lake Barkley with out spending a ton of money. I had put squirt gun art down on our summer bucket list and figured it was a good time to check it off. The kids were super excited to do it as well!



The supplies: 
- paint
- canvases
- cheap squirt guns 



The easiest way to fill the squirt guns was to first add the water and then the paint. We filled the water to about half the gun. Once you add the paint just shake it up. No rhyme or reason when filling. You just need to test it out to find the right consistency. We set up the canvases out in the  yard around a tree. The kids quickly got down to business and made some cute art work. We left it outside for several hours to let dry. They turned out really cute. Max mixed his paint up on his canvas so the colors swirled together instead of the squirts or paint I was going for. Hey but that’s art. Everyone is unique. I loved hanging them up in the hall with their other art work. It makes me happy passing them daily.
