Here is what you will need to get the project started!

Materials:
Tempra paint
Water Guns (The cheap ones are great for this, dollar store or dollar bin at Target)
Water
Canvas (You can buy these anywhere for cheap, $7.99ish for a set of two)
Painters Tape (optional)
drop cloth or old sheet

Directions:
Mix the tempra paint with a little water (a 50/50 mixture).
Use a measuring cup with a pour spout and slowly pour in the paint/water mixture.
Use the painters tape to make the desired design. (My son asked for stars – obviously :D)
Go outside and go to town!
Lay the canvas horizontally and wait for the paint to dry before taking the tape off.
