If you live on the East Coast/polar vortex, you have to promise not to be mad at me when I write this next sentence. The weather here in AZ has been outrageously gorgeous, like 80’s gorgeous. In fact, it’s a little freaky when you think about what it’s going to look like in a couple of months around here! But right now it’s perfect out there for some fun, messy art projects, like flyswatter painting. All you need is a roll of butcher paper, fingerpaint and a flyswatter. (I’m sure you can use regular tempura paint, but you’ll see why I chose to use fingerpaint at the end of this post.) You also need a total disregard for cleanliness for this project, hence why the Little Bees are in their undies. On the spectrum of messiness this is…well…up there. Anyway, not much explanation needed, just glob on some paint and let the littles go to town with the flyswatter. Don’t wear a white shirt. The effect was pretty cool once all the colors were mixed. I thought about using these for the background of our sillhouettes but the little ladies wanted a little more freedom so
This happened
And also this.
We had a great time! What do you do when the weather turns gorgeous?
Happy swatting!
