How to Make Watercolor Blow Paint Monsters with a Straw

To make this easy watercolor blow paint monster craft you need just a few materials. You probably already have all of these things on hand. Here's what you need:

watercolors
water
construction paper, card stock, or watercolor paper
googly eyes
black permanent marker or pen
plastic straw - drinking straw
glue

First, start by adding some watercolor paint drops to the sheet of paper using a paint brush. I added a few extra drops of water to make it easier.

Then, using the straw your child will blow the paint and make the paint move. It starts to move in different directions making funky shapes.

Repeat this as many times are you want on the paper using whatever different colors you want on your monster painting. We chose to do rainbow colors on one sheet. Play around with adding more water and less with each color. This rainbow blow painting is giving us all HAPPY smiles.
