If you don't have the paints they are suggesting and want to use all of your leftover acrylic paints, you would simply mix your acrylic paints with a medium. Here is the liquitex medium that you would need.

Create Awesome Abstract Art With This Balloon Smash Painting
The consistency of the acrylic paint should work fine. If any of your bottles have thickened you can use water to thin it out a bit.
Acrylic paint straight out of the bottle will be a bit thick if you want lighter (watercolor) results. If you want bold bright (less transparent and blendable color) use out of the bottle.
There are two choices for thinning acrylic paint: water or acrylic medium. Water breaks down the binder in acrylic, thinning the paint so that it looks like watercolor and allows it to sink into the surface, resulting in a matte finish. ... Adding 60 percent or more water creates a watery paint application called a wash.
Diane: maybe this will help
