Flickr Finds: Painting With Water

2007-06-15-paintingwater.jpg

This is our favorite kind of idea- a simple, artistic, and FREE summer activity! We found these photos from Kerflop on Flickr. Painting with water...

It's the perfect pasttime for a hot day. When the chalk thing gets old, and it's just too hot to run around- hand them a pal of water and a some paint brushes, and let their imaginations go wild. No clean up necessary. Thanks Kerflop!

We love doing this. Also... if you give them a big paintbrush and a bucket of water, they'll clean... er... PAINT your house.

Kind of fun to see my photograph on your site. It's such a simple activity that keeps my three kids entertained for a very long time. Tip: if they paint in the shade, the pictures last longer.

This works great on construction paper, too, if you need to be indoors.

I read about this similar thing someplace - but for painting a fence. It's a great idea - just need to get my 4 yr old to think so!
