Our “Paint Splat Cat” craft tutorial is not only an engaging activity but also a fantastic opportunity for children to explore their imagination, experiment with colors, and develop fine motor skills.
In this blog post, we’ll dive into the exciting world of “paint splatting” and show you how to turn simple materials into a delightful cat-themed masterpiece. Get ready to see those creative juices flow!
Craft Supplies:
- Black Tulip Brand Puffy Paint
- Choice of Color Cardstock Paper
- Black Cardstock Paper
- Pink Cardstock Paper
- Scissors
- School Glue
- Extra Large Wiggle Eyes – 2 per craft
- White Pipe Cleaners – 2 per craft
Directions:
- First things first – fold your choice of colored cardstock paper in half and open it back up.
- Grab your black puffy paint and squirt paint ON ONE SIDE before closing it up again.
- Once the paper is closed for the second time, gently take your hand and “caress” the paper so the black paint inside, makes a fun symmetrical 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 kitty cat’s head will eventually be. From there you decorate it to bring it to life and give it life.
- Next up, grab the remaining sheets of cardstock paper and your scissors.
- Out of the black cardstock, cut TWO triangle ears.
- Out of the pink cardstock, cut out a large circle for it’s nose.
- Finally – the last step in completing this cat paper and paint craft is to glue down ALL the cardstock cutout pieces and pipe cleaner “whiskers” on top of the paint splat design. I would highly suggest starting with the nose in the center. As for the whiskers, just bend both of them in half and glue them down next to the nose.
- Once finished with your custom black cat masterpiece, then set aside 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!
