Squirt Gun Painting
Set Up Your Painting Area
Choose an outdoor space where it's safe to get messy. Lay down tarps or old sheets to protect surfaces, and keep a small table nearby for easy paint refills.
Load the Squirt Guns
Fill cheap squirt guns with non-toxic washable paint, diluted 50/50 with water for easier spraying. Consider getting a variety pack to load different colors in each one.
Create Your Masterpiece
Take aim at blank canvases or large sheets of paper. Set them up on an easel for more of a "drip" look, or put them on the ground for more "splatter". Have fun and get creative!
Tape Your Art to the Next Level
You can use masking tape to create cool shapes and patterns. Just be sure to let it dry before removing the tape!
