Gravity art

Kids love learning about that mysterious thing called gravity, and what better way to teach them than by letting them see it in action? Take this idea from Fun-A-Day, and have your kid stand on a small step ladder or stool for splat art, dropping paint-soaked pompoms down onto a roll of butcher paper, or deposit paint at the top of a mounted canvas with pipettes or spoons and watch it drip down. Bonus points if they can turn their dry drips into a creative art prompt, like a rain cloud or spring garden
