Paint Splat Penguin Craft
Get creative with your kids this weekend and try out this fun penguin craft project. Perfect for all ages, it'll make a great addition to any house or classroom!
- Black Cardstock Paper
- Orange Cardstock Paper
- 2 Wiggle Eyes
- White Tulip Puffy Paint
Instructions
- Just fold your black cardstock in half.
- Now open back up and squirt some white 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 white paint around inside, so it 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!}
- Open it back up and see your newly made paint splat & what will eventually become the penguin's body. We are going to take that "ink blot" and decorate it to give it a custom look & feel.
- To bring it to life, you can take scrap cardstock pieces, glitter, wiggle eyes, feathers etc. - whatever you want to bring it to life. You may need school glue to make things "stick" BUT if you work really fast, while the paint is still wet, you may be able to just lay your embellishments directly on top of the wet paint and skip the glue all together.
- Once finished with your custom paint smash penguin masterpiece, then set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!
