Paint Splat Ocean Craft Idea For Kids

Inspired by the beauty and wonder of the ocean, this latest “paint splat” craft is designed to spark your child’s imagination and bring out their artistic side!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First things first – fold your cardstock in half. Straight up the center.
  • Next open it back up and squirt a few lines of blue paint squiggles with ON ONE SIDE before closing up the cardstock paper again.
  • Once the paper is closed for the second time, gently take your hand and “caress” the paint around inside, so it makes a fun symmetrical “ocean” 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 to reveal the water design underneath.
  • Grab your remaining pieces of cardstock paper, along with the pencil and scissors.
  • Trace your hand on the yellow paper.
  • Trim out the design. This will become your fish.
  • Glue the cutout to the center of your paint splat design.
  • Add a small “heart” lip shape, along with the googly eye.
  • Once finished, add any other embellishments you like.
  • Then set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!

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.
