Calm and Create
I love blow paint art as its a great way for kids to have fun with art and see what their imaginations come up with. You can also add in some mindful prompts by getting them to notice the shapes that they blow and even add in a some playful deep breathing.
We kids are blowing on the straw ask them to imagine blowing bubbles through it. Use my Bubble Breaths activity + Free Guided Imagery Track to help kids practice this fun breathing technique.
Calming Blow Paint Art Ideas for Kids
To do blow blowing art, you’ll need some paint, pipettes, a straw, and paper. Start by squeezing a few drops of watercolour paint with a pipette onto watercolour paper. Use the straw to blow the paint around the paper, directing it with your breath. You can make all sorts of shapes, patterns, and designs. Blowing art is a great way to explore different colours and textures and to express creativity.
1) Animal Blow Painting
After the shapes have dried. Ask your children to look at the paintings and see what animals they see. They can then use a black liner pen to draw on top and add details.
2) Monster or Alien Blow Painting
This time use googly eyes and heathers and create some cool monsters and aliens with the shapes. See my post on Instagram here.
3) Bubble Blow Painting
This fun activity is great for all ages! Simply mix a few drops of liquid watercolour or food colouring with some dish soap and have your little ones blow through a straw to create beautiful bubble art on paper.
