5 Unique Ways to Paint with Kids

1. Apple Stamping

One way to paint is with apples! Just cut them into shapes, put a toothpick in them and dip them into the paint. You can see more on how we did this on this post.  You could also try potatoes or other fruits/vegetables.

2. Painting with Cotton Balls

My toddler really loved this way of painting! I simply put clothespins on cotton balls and had him dip it in the paint. Then he had fun creating art on paper.

4. Marble Painting

A fun way to paint is with marbles! Simply dip marbles into paint and roll it onto paper. Or you can use a canvas, like we did in this Easter craft. After rolling the marbles, my kids thought it would be fun to smear paint with their hands! I guess it turned into a sensory activity.
