The paint splat craft tutorial meets Glued To My Crafts again with this super adorable “Paint Splat Penguin Friends” kid craft idea! Perfect for a zoo themed craft day in the classroom or any day of the year!

Paint Splat Penguin Friends - Kid Craft

Paint Splatter Penguin Art Project

Paint splat crafts are super quick and rather easy to recreate. Even for the littlest crafter in the home! In fact – this could be a family affair on the kitchen table. That’s how easy it is!

The best way I can describe it, is that it’s like an “inkblot” test.

You just squirt some paint on a folded piece of paper, squish it together and open back up to reveal a symmetrical design inside. Then it’s what you make with the newly made paint smash penguin design, that makes it CRAFTY FUN! In this case, since we used black cardstock paper and white craft paint, we have a penguin design!

The FULL Tutorial:

  • To recreate this Paint Splat Penguin Friend, all I did was take some basic black cardstock paper and white Tulip Puffy Paint to make the body of the penguin.
  • Just fold your black cardstock in half, open back up and squirt some white paint ON ONE SIDE before closing it up again.
  • Once the paper is closed for the second time, gently take your hand and “caress” the white paint around inside, so it makes a fun symmetrical print design on both sides of the paper {keep in mind – paint might ooze from the sides of the cardstock, so be sure to work in an area that can get dirty!}
  • Now you are ready to open it back up and see your newly made paint splat & what will eventually become the penguin’s body. We are going to take that “ink blot” and decorate it to give it a custom look & feel.
  • To bring it to life, you can take scrap cardstock pieces, glitter, wiggle eyes, feathers etc. – whatever you want to bring it to life. You may need school glue to make things “stick” BUT if you work really fast, while the paint is still wet, you may be able to just lay your embellishments directly on top of the wet paint and skip the glue all together.
  • Once finished with your custom paint smash penguin masterpiece, then set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly! And of course – repeat as many times as you like! No two pieces will be the same and I think that’s what makes this crafty idea even more fun!
