Challenge your kids to see how many different

ways they can print and paint with Q-tips!

Today's Q-tip craft is all about experimentation!







What You Need:

Q-tips (regular and/or Precision Tip)

acrylic paint

painter's tape or masking tape

wood blocks in simple shapes (optional)

card stock

plastic lids for holding paint

newspaper or similar to cover work surface







What You Do:

Prep some Q-tip blocks and bundles:



Tape Q-tips around the blocks; make sure to adjust

them so that they will touch the surface evenly.



Tape bundles of 2, 3, and 4 Q-tips together.



Put a shallow layer of paint in the lid.







This is all about experimentation, so see how many

different kinds of marks you can make with a Q-tip!



Dip your Q-tip(s) into the paint. Use the tip and

the side, roll one end around then roll both ends

at the same time; try holding multiple Q-tips

together at the same time and do it all again.



If you find a print that you like create lots of them

to make interesting patterns.







What else can you do? Get creative and have fun!



Save your paper to use for collages

and other paper projects.
