Don’t tell my kids, but I come up with a lot of my fun ideas in the middle of the night when one of my kids can’t sleep. It’s the silver lining. I’m always trying to find ways to get my kids’ bodies moving in creative ways. I am super excited to introduce our Swing Painting Process Art.

TIME FOR SWING PAINTING PROCESS ART!
This was one of the easiest activities to set up. I cut open a cardboard box and placed it under our swing set
Now all you need are some adventurous kids! Have the children lie on their bellies and pick up a paintbrush. Swinging back and forth have the kids experiment with how to paint on the cardboard.
My children loved experiment with how high they could swing and reach different parts of the cardboard. It was so much fun!
Check out this video of our Swing Painting Process Art!
How fun is this! What a great idea to get the kids outside & creative – love it!
Thank you so much Jacquie! I even got in on the action. Super fun 🙂
LOVE IT!! I love the video where your son grabs the brush on the fly! Awesome!
I love this idea. And while we don’t have swings here at home our tiny village has a great playground that never gets used by anyone else (that I’ve ever seen). So I guess we’ll be taking paint with us on our next visit. 🙂
Awesome! Have fun!
