water balloon painting

 The water balloons I bought came with a filling attachment for the sink. I used this to get the acrylic paint into the balloon (I just used cheap paint from the dollar store that is runny) before filling it with an air pump and tying it off. 

This was definitely an outside/old clothes activity. Paint went EVERYWHERE!!! 

The girls placed their balloons on a canvas.

Then they started popping them with a push pin.

All done. 

We didn't fill very many balloons but I think it would also look good with more layers of splattered paint.
