Art activities for kids using the resist art technique are so popular for a good reason! They are simple, easy to set-up and the results are gorgeous no matter what. We have done our share of tape resist art and crayon resist art but today’s post is about something even more fun since it involves spray cans!

- Spray Bottles
- Liquid Watercolors
- Watercolor Paper
- Household objects or toys
I first covered my table with white vinyl table cloth purchased from the dollar store and then laid down some heavy paper card stock heavy construction paper watercolor paper will work)
My 3.5 year old hunted around the house and brought me a few objects (toy parts, letters, cups etc) We set them up n the heavy paper and got ready for the art project.
In the meantime I added about 2 tablespoons of our favorite liquid watercolors ( link above) and filled up the spray bottle with water. Based on the intensity of the color you desire add water to the liquid watercolors.
Then it was just spraying time. My child sprayed the colors to her heart’s content while working her finger muscles.
It was a beautiful sight.
Well we got carried away with this art activity and pretty much drenched our paper.
If you hold the spray bottle at a distance and spray gently you can achieve this. We were totally ok drenching and spraying away though.
Removing the objects was the best part!
Such an easy art activity for kids all ages.
What to do with the rest of the paint? Spray on left over packaging material of course.
