Today’s post is for my DONUT lovin’ friends!

I’m introducing my latest {and greatest} “Watercolor Donut Friends” kid craft idea that includes a FREE template below, to get you started! #gluedtomycrafts

This tutorial is perfect for ALL ages and craft novices! If you or your child LOVE coloring and/or working with a paint brush, our latest donut themed tutorial is just for YOU! PLUS just like the real thing, you can customize your donut to any style, tastebud or mood!

With the free hand-drawn donut template you will find below you are going to LOVE how easy it is to pull this craft together within minutes! All you need to do is download the FREE file, print it on white cardstock and give it some life with your various craft mediums. And although the watercolors are what makes it beautiful, I “think” the black glitter glue is what really tops it off!

So what are you waiting for?! I’ve laid out the ground work for you. It’s time for YOU to get to printing and recreating it with your child today! Remember – this idea is great for ALL year long, so be sure to bookmark our page in your browser!!!

Happy crafting, my friends!

Watercolor Donut Friend Craft Supplies:

• Free DONUT Printable {download HERE}
• White Cardstock
• Color Printer
• Watercolors {any type will do, even this inexpensive Crayola brand!}
• Paint Brush
• Small Dish w/water
• Black Glitter Glue
• Wiggle Eyes
• Markers
• Flat/Wipeable Surface To Work On

Directions:

• First things first on your radar – download and print the DONUT FRIEND TEMPLATE above, on simple white cardstock {or any color you like!} Print our donut shape design as much and many times as you like!
• Next, if desired, you can cut the donut body template out with scissors before or after you paint them. I opted for not cutting mine out but it’s just another angle you can take this craft, if it interests you! :-)
• Now it’s time to paint! Let the kids go wide and paint their little hearts out! Remember – it’s however THEY want their donut to look! Plus this is a great teachable moment on how mixing colors, makes new colors!
• For added flair {and more crafty fun} have children add black glitter glue around the edges and inside the painted donut design.
• Now for bringing them to life! Glue on the wiggle eyes at this point in time and draw on a smiley face with the markers, as well.
• When done with all the crafting fun, set aside your pieces to let them dry completely.
• Finally – display your hard work proudly!
