Straw Blown Paint Monsters

Painty monster


Introducing a straw and paint together made me slightly nervous as my toddler is not always the best at listening to instructions when excited about an activity. I could imagine mischievous eyes sparkling and a paint-filled mouth. We took it in turns to practise blowing through the straw first before getting the paint out.

Time: 15 minutes
Age: Under 5's
Level: Medium

Materials
  • Straw
  • Paint
  • Water
  • Paint
  • Black marker

  • Method
  • Water down different colours of paint or else it won't be thin enough to blow.
  • Drop some little pools of watery paint on some paper.



  • Kids can have fun blowing through the straw to move the paint.
  • Remembering to blow through the straw instead of sucking can be challenging so have a little practise first before introducing the paint.



  • The blown paint makes a great picture just as it is.



  • My son pointed out that they looked like monsters so I helped to bring them alive by drawing some eyes on scraps of paper to stick on.
