Fly Swatter Printing Craft Idea For Toddlers!
Now that the weather is getting warmer here in Wyoming {fingers crossed it stays that way} I’m trying to take the crafting outside.
I don’t know about your child but mine LOVES the outdoors. He definitely gets that from his daddy – not me! If he could, he would stay in our backyard all day {possibly naked cause clothes are not cool apparently}
So anyways – last week, it finally got warm enough for Lil Man to play outside. {We had snow for a few days}
While he was outside, I decided to get creative and have him “paint” me a picture with a fly swatter. YES – you read that right. A fly swatter! Just an inexpensive one I picked up for a buck at our local Dollar Tree last year.
And since I already had the craft paint and paper already on hand, this was the winning combination for a really inexpensive kid craft and activity for us to do together. Sides that – who says you need a paint brush to actually paint??

Directions:
- First things first – I HIGHLY suggest doing this crafty idea OUTSIDE! So that being said, tape down some kraft paper on the ground. Make sure it’s as flat as possible.
- Now squirt some paint down on a paper plate.
- Have your child place their fly swatter in the paint, then on the paper.
- Repeat over and over again to make a painted masterpiece!
- Once they are done painting, just pull it up from the ground and discard if you want!
- Use warm water and soap to remove excess paint on fly swatter 🙂
