| 1. | Start by soaking an old sheet in water and then hanging it on a clothesline or draping it over a fence. |
| 2. | Get out various tempera paints and applicators -- sponges, paintbrushes, squirt bottles -- and go at it, creating pictures, tic-tac-toe grids, or just colorful designs. You can also mute and mix colors with a water-filled spray bottle. |
