Painting is a fun and creative way for kids to express themselves while developing their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Using some simple tools like a brush, sponge and more you can give your kids an experiment task to boost their creativity. Here are 7 ways to do so.
A sensory activity to explore color and texture through hands. Simply let them dip their fingers in color and create different patterns.
Place liquified color on a canvas, and let kids blow out and create some different patterns and form unique abstract patterns resembling tree branches, fireworks or coral reefs.
Let them dip the leaves in paint and press them onto paper to create beautiful nature prints. The veins and shapes of each leaf make unique patterns, teaching them about different plant species while they do art.
This is a simple technique where they dip cotton swabs in paint and use them to make dots on paper. They can create patterns, landscapes or even animals by connecting dots of different colors.
Use masking tape to create shapes, letters or patterns on paper before they paint over it. Once the paint is dry remove the tape to reveal white spaces within the colored background.
Bubble wrap isn’t just for popping – it’s a painting tool! Dip a sheet of bubble wrap in paint and press onto paper to create texture.
For kids who love a bit of drama splatter painting is a great activity. Dip a toothbrush or paintbrush in paint and flick or tap it over the paper to create random colorful splashes.
