What to do



1. Pour some paints into empty yoghurt pots and stir in a little water. All paints are different so add a little at a time, try it out until you are happy with the consistency.

3. Blow through the straw moving the paint in different directions. Add more paint if you want and blow again through the straw until you are happy with your picture.

4. Leave to dry. As the paint was watered down it may take a while to dry, so if you can, put it somewhere warm to help speed it up.
