Fly Swatter Painting

If you have an easel, this is a great summer project you can do outside.  (We did it inside due to a heat wave that would make a cockroach swoon.)  If you don't mind paint on the side of your house or fence, then go ahead and tape paper to those surfaces and try this fun painting tool. 

A fly swatter!

We picked up these pretty flower shaped ones on a trip to the Dollar Tree.  (Actually, Bear spotted them and then insisted we get them, and since she is not the type to request things while on shopping trips, I obliged.)

I immediately thought "cool painting tool."  I like to use pretty unusual things as painting tools; you can read more about that in this post.

Paint one side of the swatter with the color or colors of your choice and then swat away!

It's that simple!
