Activity: First, fill a bottle with black acrylic paint. Next, squeeze the bottle over paper to create abstract designs. Then, use watercolours/coloured pencils to fill in the unique shapes. This activity is super simple to create and makes a focused activity for creativity.

​

Thanks @HWilderAct for this wonderful idea x

We have had so much fun working with different types of paints. The residents' favourite has been the pouring acrylic paints.
