The Pump Bottle Watercolor Art Project

This process art activity is so easy to set up and do. First, cover your work area with newspaper or a water-resistant tablecloth. You can also do the activity in an active world tray.

Next, fill pump bottles at least half full of liquid watercolors or food coloring mixed with water. Two of my pump bottles are repurposed teddy bear tempera paint bottles…so fun to use.

Then invite each participant to pump paint colors onto a large piece of copy paper, cardstock, or art paper.

Finally, let the pump bottle painted pictures dry and display.

Note: As this art activity is a little messy, it’s a great one to do outside.
