Create a Paint Splat Grinch Face with your Child this Christmas
This easy kids craft is perfect for Christmas. Get the whole family involved and create some festive fun! All you need is some paint, paper, and googly eyes! Let’s get crafting!
It’s our favorite “paint splat” technique incorporated into a Grinch theme, inspired by the new movie in theaters right now!!!
GRINCH CRAFT SUPPLIES:
- To create my Grinch Themed Paint Splat Face, all I did was take some basic white cardstock {one sheet per craft} extra large wiggle eyes and green & black Puffy Paint to make the “face” of the Grinch. I also included some red cardstock paper and white cotton balls for the Santa hat.

HOW TO MAKE IT:
- The first step was to folding my white cardstock in half and opening it back up.
- Then I grabbed my green puffy paint and squirted several squiggles of paint ON ONE SIDE of the white cardstock, before closing it up again.
- Once the paper was closed for the second time, I gently took my hand and “caressed” the green paint inside the folded paper, so it made a fun symmetrical print design on both sides {please keep in mind – paint might ooze from the sides of the cardstock, so be sure to work in an area that can get dirty!}
- Next I opened my folded paper back up and saw the BEGINNING of what my Grinch’s face would eventually be.
- From here, I threw on the wiggle eyes on top of the wet paint and drew on some eyebrows & a mouth with the black puffy paint.
- Next up, I grabbed my red cardstock and cut out a large triangle piece.
- I then folded that newly cut triangle piece to make a Santa hat and secured it to the paint splat paper with some school glue.
- Finally – the last step was adding the white cotton balls to the brim of the hat, which really gave it that festive feel.
- When you are finished with your custom GRINCH ART masterpiece, set aside it to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!
- And of course – repeat as many times as you like! No two pieces will be the same and I think that’s what makes it even more fun!
