Indoor Rain Shadow: Splatter painting

Toothbrush splatter painting, one of my favorite childhood art. I used to create lots of outer space art. Coming to our Indoor Rain shadow, we were inspired by the Rain shadows, Melissa @ Chocolate Muffin tree made with her daughter. I love her nature blend projects. But somehow I'm not brave enough to lay down on the pavement and create an outdoor rain shadow. So I decided to make a splatter painting rain shadow.

We created Cookie cutter resist and foam sticker resist splatter painting.

While doing the activity, two points to note/remember:

1. The activity is very messy, so completely cover the surface you are working on and wear a apron or old dress. Better to take the craft Outdoors.

2. Use Washable paints
