Our Experience With This Fun Paint Project

We really enjoyed this splatter art! My toddlers and older kids both liked it. They mixed colors, splattered colors, and made neat art. Then we used some of the pages to make new art using markers.

We were also able to explore colors a bit by mixing splatters of paint. We made some interesting colors. But regardless, it was just a fun project to do on a rainy afternoon and we enjoyed it.

I hope your kids enjoy this splatter paint art project as much as mine did.
