I couldn't believe how much both my girls loved this activity.  Fluttershy usually will try a art project but will loose interest in it pretty quickly.  With this activity she kept asking to make more.  The best part is it was so easy.  

1. Tape your paper to a glass cake pan.
2. Pour some paint onto the paper.
3. Now use a magnet on the paper and one under the glass pan to drag around your paper smearing the paint around.

Cookie Cutter Painting

 Painting with cookie cutters

 We used Crayola washable paints and a couple of cute cookie cutters.  I showed them what to do and let them go at it.

 Both Fluttershy and Rarity enjoyed this activity.  Towards the end Rarity had gotten some paint on her fingers and was complaining about that something was on her hands so that's when her activity ended.

Oil Art

 Create stain class effects using vegetable oil

 We all enjoyed our art project today.  First we drew with crayons on white paper.

 

 Next we painted on vegetable oil, covering the paper with a light coat.

 These turned out fun and when they dry we'll hang them up in the window for the light to shine through. 

Easter Decorations

  

Making Easter Egg Decorations

 We have had some fun with how we've colored these eggs.  We started out with coffee filters cut in the shape of a egg.  

Our first try was using our bingo markers.  With the super absorbent filters the immediately sucked up the colors and depending on how long we held the markers on even absorbed and started blending.  

Our next method was fun as well.  

Place the filter on a cookie sheet and paint it with water till it's all wet.

We next dropped 3 drops of food coloring and watched them color themselves by the colors bleeding all over.  

 Our next attempt was dropping several drops of food color on the filter, spraying with water and tilting the pan so the colors drifted down.  We then turned the pan and redirected the colors another way. 

We even tried wetting the filter and using water colors on it, but it didn't create the look we were hoping for.

The last way we tried was to fold the egg, and dip the dry egg into dots of paint.  Since the filter is super absorbent they sucked the color right up.
