I love how the different amounts of paint on the sponge can give a different effect – big splodges or tiny little lines! Sponges are also really easy for young kids to hold onto and they’re pretty easy to clean afterwards so you can pop them away in a draw afterwards to paint with again another day. I’m never quite sure what these things are called – bath sponges? Shower puffs? Either way they’re a great material to print with and if you don’t have one at home already you can buy them online here. If you wanted to you could also try dipping your child’s finger into green paint to make some grass at the bottom of the tree. You could also do this as a collaborative art project with more than one child and get them each to add their fingerprints.įor younger kids it makes a lovely keepsake too, I love seeing kids finger painting from my kids and seeing how little their fingers look. If you don’t mind a bit of mess then finger painting is a really sensory way to get creative and to mix the colours up a bit, make sure you keep a cloth nearby to clean up any messy hands afterwards! To create this art idea using your pom poms just dip them into your paint and get printing. Whichever method you use it might also be fun to mix up using large pom poms and small pom poms. Tip: If you are using a peg then it’s easier to use large pom poms rather than small ones. You can grab hold of the pom poms with your fingers or if you don’t want to get messy then use a clothes peg to hold onto it. This is a great craft if your child likes doing painting but isn’t so keen on getting messy.
