For our mommy school this week we tried out some q-tip painting, using the PDF printables we found HERE at Therapy Fun Zone. It was fun and easy. We got out our washable paint and some q-tips and then printed off the picture.
It wasn't crazy-messy, which was a bonus.
It was good for both ages (3 and 5).
If you let your tongue hang out, you can concentrate much better, you know. I love it when he does that.
Ta-dah!
Thanks for stopping by.
Nice and great idea.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I teach K, and we use Q-tips for regular painting all the time (mostly bc I'm a little scared of the giant paint messes that could be made). I've never seen these Q-tip painting sheets before, though. Thanks for sharing!! :)
ReplyDeleteOoooooooooh! Love this!
ReplyDeleteI just love this!
ReplyDeleteI will try with my kids!

Thanks for sharing this idea, both my boys enjoyed doing this, this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteIn my family, we call that "holding your mouth right." :)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!! I am totally doing this tomorrow!! Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great fine motor/coordination activity. I kinda want to try it myself, looks super fun! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is cute! I love that your kids are so focused on it -- and the end result looks fantastic.
ReplyDeletewow I would say that was very well done for a three year old!!!maybe it was the tongue that created all that great motor skill.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I need to print those - my son would love those!
ReplyDeleteGreat fun! I think we'll do this tomorrow since we're on "Winter Break" here in Detroit.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen these kinds of q-tip painting sheets. I do them but just use little jars of water with food colouring in it and then they can draw all over the paper. Gives it a lovely watercolour effect. I will have to try these too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing our project. I am so glad that it was such fun.

Isn't this form of painting called pointillism? What a fun way for kids to get in on the action too!
