1 2 3 4 A child dips the paintbrush one more time. Soft orange paint glides across the paper. At first it looks like ordinary paint. Then it dries. Suddenly every pumpkin, swirl, and brushstroke rises off the page with a wonderfully puffy texture little fingers can't wait to touch.

Whether you're painting pumpkins, making textured artwork, or looking for an easy autumn craft, this homemade paint transforms every brushstroke into something worth running your fingers across.

First art experiences are so incredible to witness!

She loads her brush with Ghost Paint and sweeps a big white ghost across the middle of the paper. The paint doesn't spread very far. It piles up instead, leaving thick swirls behind. She adds more, pulling the paint into a wobbly ghost with a crooked little tail. Her finger brushes across one of the ridges. “It's cold.” Soon there are ghosts all over the paper. Some are tall and skinny; others are little blobs with trailing bottoms, and none of them look quite the same. Right now, they're wet, chilly, and thick with paint. But these ghosts aren't finished changing yet.

The first egg always gets the biggest reaction. Everyone watches as it flies through the air, waiting for the colorful splash when it finally cracks against the canvas. Then everyone starts reaching for another egg. Before long, laughter fills the yard as every throw creates a new burst of color that's completely impossible to predict.

Do your kids love to  paint  and create?

Make your own "quick paint" using only two ingredients!

Kids of all ages just love to have their face painted .  This experience is typically reserved for carnivals and other special outings.

We love bringing  science  and  art  together.

One little hand finishes painting while the other is already reaching for the spray bottle. Nobody says a word. Two little faces stay fixed on the wet brushstrokes stretching across the sidewalk, waiting to see if this one will finally do something. The very first squeeze changes everything. Tiny bubbles race across every place the brush has touched. A surprised laugh slips out, and before the bubbles have disappeared, the brush is already back in the bucket. Another wet line appears. Another hopeful pause. Another colorful spray. Soon the sidewalk is covered with children moving from one bubbling surprise to the next, never slowing down long enough to admire the last one because they're already wondering what will happen next. If today's colorful bubbles leave your child asking, "Can we do that again?" you'll love our Baking Soda and Vinegar Activities for Kids collection filled with magical reactions, fizzing experiments, and unforgettable hands-on activities...
