This was AMAZING fun! Create your own colourful action art.
I’ve been trying to think how to do this for a while then I asked my husband if he could help and he said “This is a job for my old Lego Technic!”. So we built our own turntable. And had lots of fun! LOTS!
This would be a great idea for a birthday party! Get the kids to build the mechanisms first then let loose with the paint!

I used a cardboard pizza base as the turn table. Place everything in a high sided cardboard box to catch the splatters.
Use a plate as a template to cut circles of white and coloured paper or card.

The edges of the box started to look as colourful as the paintings.
