Ink Art

Newspapers are a great thing to have around for this art project. It is lots of fun but can be a little messy.

You need

  1. drawing paper
  2. straws
  3. and India ink (found at most office or craft stores)

Place your drawing paper on top of newspapers (to protect your table) Place a drop of ink on the paper and set your child to blowing.

You can use this as a science project as well. Demonstrate the effects of the wind on the ink. Blowing harder produces a wider image where as a soft and gently breeze will make straighter lines. Encourage your child to control his breath to create a picture of his choosing.
