Paint Splat Truffula Trees - Lorax Themed Kid Craft Idea

Truffula Trees Craft Idea For Kids

Kids will LOVE recreating these Paint Splat Truffula Trees in honor of the Dr. Seuss classic “The Lorax.“

With no two being alike, it’s a Lorax inspired craft that is extra fun to make in a group setting and compare your finished masterpiece with others {hint hint – teachers!}

At Glued To My Crafts we absolutely LOVE paint splat tutorials. It’s a great abstract art process for kids to take a hold of and make some symmetrical masterpieces out of! It’s just a matter of squirting some paint on a piece of paper, squishing it together and admiring your hard work when you open it all up again!

So without further ado, you will find the FULL tutorial below, that was inspired by the book and movie “The Lorax.” Our rainbow colored Truffula trees are just as colorful and vibrant, so be sure to give it a try today! Happy crafting, my friends!

Paint Splat Truffula Trees - Lorax Themed Kid Craft Idea

Just because we’re stuck indoors doesn’t mean we can’t have fun and be creative! Here’s a great craft idea for the kids – paint splat truffula trees inspired by The Lorax!

Craft Supplies:

  • Paper Plates – one per tree craft
  • Tulip Puffy Paint
  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
  • Tacky Glue
  • Baby Wipes
  • optional materials – glitter, sequins, rhinestones etc.

Check out our AMAZON storefront for supplies!

Directions:

  • Please make sure you have a good working area that can get dirty because paint will squeeze out of the sides of this craft!!!
  • First fold your paper plate in half {one per tree that you want to make.}
  • Unfold and squirt some paint on one side of the paper plate {I like the Tulip Puffy Paint for this particular step since it’s in a nice controlled squirt bottle} Be sure to keep the paint inside the paper plate and not place too much down.
  • Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your paper plate together again.
  • Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your the inside nicely {paint WILL more than likely squeeze out the sides, so be sure to pay attention to that and clean up with baby wipes!}
  • Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your colorful TREE design inside.
  • To finish the Paper Plate Paint Splat Truffula Tree – glue a jumbo popsicle stick to the plate {if desired, you can use markers to decorate the popsicle sticks before hand!}
  • Set aside your crafty pieces, to let them dry completely before displaying proudly.
  • If you like – you can also add glitter on top of the wet paint for an even more fun look!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
