Q tip Painting for children

Q TIP painting – A fun way to engage kids

Q tip painting is a fun way to paint without the usual paint brush.

Kids are used to painting with a paint brush. Experiment with other ways like vegetable painting or q-tip painting every now and then.

Always using a paint brush to paint can get boring. Try this q tip painting activity as an alternative Click To Tweet

Craft Basket

I set up the craft basket with the following items

• A card stock
• Paint
• Tissue paper (to wipe off paint)
• q tips
• pencil

You can do this activity as an open ended activity in which case, you just give some q tips and ask your child to paint however he wants.

If you want to do it in a structured way, you can decide on a shape and trace an outline of the shape with pencil. We decided to do a heart and I drew a heart outline. The kids then dipped the q tips in paint and used them to paint the heart

Painting using q tip is not only fun, but also improves fine motor skills, ability to focus and concentration in children

Since, kids are usually used to painting with brush, painting with q-tips will be a different experience for them.

Tip: Any activity that involves paint can get messy. Remember to spread a newspaper below. Also, pour the paint on to a paper plate or cups to avoid the paint getting mixed up.

One is by elder son, one by my younger one and one by your’s truly. Can you find which is by whom:)
