Paint Splat Beach Day Summer Craft

No need to get sunburned or sand in places you don’t want! Bring the summer fun indoors with FULL paint splat beach day tutorial below!

Craft Supplies:

Before you set up your workspace, make sure you have all the materials you need. Here’s a handy list to get you prepared:

  • Free Printable – on our landing page
  • Skin Tone Colored Cardstock Paper
  • Markers/Crayons/Coloring Pencils
  • Scissors
  • Glue Stick or School Glue
  • Light Brown Construction Paper
  • Scrapbook Paper
  • Brown Puffy Paint
  • Gold Puffy Paint
  • Loose Gold Craft Glitter
  • Embellishments

Directions:

Before you start, cover your table with a disposable tablecloth or some old newspaper. Paint splat crafts can get a little messy (in the best way possible), so it’s best to prepare in advance to keep clean-up stress-free.

  • First things first – download and print the FREE template provided above. Each sheet includes six cutouts for you to use.
  • Gather your favorite coloring supplies and start decorating two or more of the body shapes. Get creative and customize each one to reflect your personal style.
  • Once you’re done decorating, carefully cut out the designs using scissors. At this point in time you should cut out TWO large rectangles for the beach blankets. Set all your paper cutouts aside.
  • Next up – fold a piece of brown cardstock in half, then open it back up. This crease will act as a guideline when creating your design and ensure symmetry.
  • Add blobs of paint to one half of the cardstock. There’s no need to be precise here; the more irregular and vibrant, the better!
  • When ready, carefully fold the cardstock back along the crease, sandwiching the paint inside.
  • Now comes the fun part! Press down on the paper and gently rub your hand along its surface, smearing the paint inside. When you unfold it, you’ll reveal a symmetrical and surprising splatter design. If desired, shake some gold glitter on top of the “sand” to make it sparkle.
  • Next, attach your decorated people cutout{s} to the center of each rectangle cutout from either. Position them so they appear to be relaxing and laying on the beach. Glue those to your paint splatter seen.
  • For the finishing touches, add pool-themed stickers, glitter, or rhinestones to make your artwork stand out and shine.
  • Once complete, proudly display your beach blanket artwork for everyone to enjoy!

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!
