Directions:

Before you begin, print the pages onto card stock paper. Using card stock paper prevents the paint from bleeding through the page.
Have the child dip a Q-tip into paint and then fill in the circles on the pictures. You don’t need a lot of paint on the Q-tip and may have to dip it in the paint several times to finish the picture.

You’ll notice that the dots to fill in outline the picture. The picture can be colored in using colored pencils or crayons, too!

These summer-themed Q-tip painting printables are great for whole class activities, fine motor stations, or independent practice for early finishers.

I love this activity for helping children with their fine motor skills. When a child holds a Q-tip, they have to hold the small Q-tip in place and dab the paint in each circle. This is good for building those smaller muscles of the hand. It’s also great for hand-eye coordination! Working on fine motor skills will help with good handwriting when students learn to hold a pencil and write letters.
