Cootie Art (Straw Blowing Paint Activity)

Materials needed: Paint (3-4 different colors), straws, cups, spoons, paper (the thicker the better), googly eyes, glue. 

The first thing you need to do is water down your paint. The white/purple/green cups show how much paint I started with. The orange/yellow/red cups shows how much water I added. Make sure you stir the mixture a lot. If the paint is too thick, this will not work at all. You want the paint to be really watery and smooth.





Next, have your kiddo spoon a small amount onto the paper. Have them blow through a straw to push the paint in different directions. Make sure the bottom of the straw never actually touches the paint.

Wait for it to dry and add googly eyes and a mouth. :)
