I blog over at C.R.A.F.T., and I ‘m super excited to participate in Rachel’s Craft Stash Summer Series! I have a fun craft that will keep the kiddos busy for at least a half hour! The best part is you probably have all of the materials in your cabinets right now…
For the dot painting you will need:
- note card
- Q-Tips
- Paint
- Pencil
Here’s how you do it:
- Use a pencil to draw a simple picture
- Use q-tip to begin dotting in the lines
- Change q-tips when you change colors
In 30 minutes or less… you have a lovely little dot painting! Be sure and ask your kids if they’ve ever heard of pointillism. That’s sure to brew up a few questions and get a mini lesson in during the summer time 🙂
If you want to see more kid crafts made with stuff from around the house, check out the kid craft page! Also, be sure to check out C.R.A.F.T. on facebook & pinterest!
Thank you, Rachel, for sharing your blog with me today 🙂
