Before your kids head back to school, let them end summer BIG. Big backyard art projects are a great way to release some of the anxiety surrounding school preparation. The following projects are more fun when done with a friend or two, besides, containing the mess in one backyard is good for everyone.
Freeze Paint
Another project you probably won't want to tackle once school starts up in the fall, are freeze pop paintings. For this project you will need Popsicle molds, or small paper cups. Fill mostly full with water. Add a tablespoon of dry tempera paint powder and stir well with a craft stick. Popsicle molds have a built-in holder, paper cups will need to be covered with aluminum foil so a craft stick will stay in place as it freezes.
Once frozen, take the paint pops outside to paint on a piece of poster board or butcher paper. The coolness of the paint makes outside art bearable on a hot day.
