Fizzing paint - preschool activity

Asher loves to paint, so I told him we would make our own paint the other day and he was thrilled! He climbed up on the counter and helped me make our fun coloured paint. 

He stirred all the ingredients together and then selected which colours he wanted them to be.

Once they were ready he got busy painting! 

When he had covered most of the paper I then asked him if he was almost done and ready for step 2. Of course he was!! 

So I handed him a squirt bottle and he sprayed his painting with vinegar! 

The result was a very bubbly picture! And then of course he had to spray the rest of the paints in the muffin tin! And I think that was more fun than anything else!!
