Flying Heart Balloons Painting
If you need an easy painting project that works for a wide range of elementary students, try this Flying Heart Balloons lesson.
Younger kids can focus on the basics—choosing colors and keeping the paint where they want it to go. Older students can take it further by adding highlights and shadows to give their balloons more dimension. For an especially soft, pretty effect, have them add the shadows while the paint is still wet so the colors gently blend together.
