- 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.
