Painting Projects
Children of all ages love to paint, and should be given lots of opportunities to
do so, even though it sometimes seems a lot of effort (especially the clearing
up). We have many painting projects and ideas here for inspiration, many of
which can be done outside in the garden to minimize mess!
Mirror Image Painting
Paint your design on to one half of the paper. Fold the paper in half and
press down. Open out the picture and leave to dry.
Splatter Painting
Water your paint down a little to make it runny. Dip a brush in, then hold it
above the paper and tap so the paint splatters over the paper. Keep adding more
colours until you are happy with your picture.
Blow Painting
Water your paint down a little to make it runny. Pour a couple of drops of
paint on to your paper, then use a drinking straw to blow the paint in all
directions.
Keep adding more paint and blowing until you are happy with your picture.
