water balloon activity for preschoolers

Balloon Paint Art

You will need a mixture of half tempera paint and half water that you will squeeze into a water balloon. I did this project when our tempera paint was about half gone. I just added water, put water in those bottles, replaced the lid and shook well to mix. AFter you fill a water balloon,  tie off. Put the balloon in a bucket with a little water to make sure the balloons don’t pop.

Repeat with as many balloons as you like. You can use just shades of your favorite color, lots of colors in the rainbow, or whatever other color combination you like.
