Painting In A Bottle Kids' #Craft

{Materials}

• Empty 2L soda bottle with cover
• Styrofoam packaging peanuts (or pompoms)
• Liquid paint

I used blue, red, white, green and yellow paint.

{Method}

• Rinse bottle well
• Have your child put about 20 Styrofoam peanuts into the bottle
• Add a couple squirts of each color paint
• Shake well.
• Ta-da! A painting in a bottle.

Shake, Shake, Shake

{Notes}

• This is a very quick and simple craft.
• The peanuts shrink after getting paint on them very quickly so they are not noticeable in the bottom of the bottle.
• You could cut the top off and use it as a vase for dried flowers or a container for pens/pencils.
• Great way to contain a usually messy activity like painting. 

The peanuts shrank and are still in the bottom of the bottle.
