Paint Splat Sunsets - Kid Craft Idea

These marbled sunset masterpieces are made with a little bit of paint and a lot of creativity! This fun activity, suitable for all ages, provides children with the chance to explore colors and textures while creating something beautiful.

Craft Supplies:

  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Black Cardstock Paper
  • Yellow Tulip Puffy Paint
  • Red Tulip Puffy Paint
  • Orange Tulip Puffy Paint
  • Loose Craft Glitter
  • Scissors
  • School Glue
  • Stapler

Directions:

  • First things first – fold your white cardstock paper in half and open back up.
  • Squirt a few lines of squiggles with your two-three shades of red/orange/yellow paint colors ON ONE SIDE before closing up the paper piece 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 “sky” 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 the BEGINNING of what your sunset scene will be. At this point in time, you can sprinkle some loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint.
  • Next up, grab your black colored cardstock and your scissors.
  • Cut out a half circle for the sun’s center and then several “rays.”
  • Staple that piece to your paint covered cardstock piece.
  • Once finished with your custom sunset masterpiece, set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!

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!
