Pixar’s movie Up was released on May 29, 2009, which, if you are reading this the first day it is posted, is 11 years ago today! To celebrate, we made a fun rendition of Pixar’s Up house being carried away by all the beautifully colored balloons. It’s a simple project to Do-It-Yourself and you may have the materials on hand already.
What you will need:
- Construction Paper
- Washable Paint
- A Paint Palette (a paper plate will work fine)
- Markers
- Damp Wash Cloth (or paper towel)
How to Do-It-Yourself:
- Select your paint colors and put a few drops of each color on your palette, spread apart enough so that the colors do not run together.
- Press one finger into your first color and decorate the top half of your construction paper with finger prints.
- Wipe the paint off of your finger and repeat step 2 with your next color. Repeat until all your colors are used and the top half of your picture is covered to your liking.
- Let the paint dry.
- Using your markers (alternatively, you can use your paint and a brush for this part if you so desire), draw the house from Up at the bottom of your picture and color it in.
- Using a black marker, draw lines connecting your house’s chimney with the fingerprints at the top of your page, turning them into balloons!
