Things Youll Need
Steps
For this craft, we smear the paint over the stencils.
To do that we made a homemade paint smearing tool from a plastic lid!
To make it cut a flexible lid in half and taper off the sides with scissors.
This shape helps to push the paint around the canvas or paper.
Now we can make our stencils!
Draw what you would like for your stencils onto contact paper or sticky vinyl.
We made hot air balloon shapes but you could do anything you like shapes, letters, or numbers!
Feel free to trace items to make your shapes.
Instead of contact paper, you could also use stickers or tape to create your stencil shapes.
Cut the shapes out.
Start by sticking your stencils onto your canvas or piece of paper.
see to it the edges are stuck down properly so the paint goes over the stencil and not under!
Squeeze some craft paint onto the canvas.
Use any colors you like!
This is a great time to get in some color practice!
Encourage your little one to imagine how they would like the colors to move.
Another technique is putting dots of paint in different spots of your canvas and spreading them around randomly.
Just ensure you cover your stencils fully to get the right effect!
Leave the paint to dry and then remove your stencils to reveal your masterpiece!
Give it a try at home, wed love to see your creations!
Happy creating, and happy learning!
