Painting Ideas!

We have been asked from some of our customers what they can do with their left over paints from their monthly My Creative Boxes. Here we have provided you with some fun and simple to set up painting activities that you can easily do at home using household items and your left over paints.

Scrape Painting

This activity from Happy Hooligans encourages children to look at colour blending using a fun technique and an expired card! The results are just as beautiful! Children might also enjoy adding collage materials onto their final product too.

Another great colour blending activity from Craftulate children will have lots of fun with while watching the different patterns and textures using their left over paints and a comb!

Foil Art

This is a great activity to do on a piece of Alfoil from Pink Striped Socks. You can use your paints, confetti and and any left over collage materials you might have from your My Creative Boxes.
