Cling Film Squish Painting

Modern Art of Kid's Art?

Time

Age

Level

Materials

Piece of cardboard, an old cereal packet is ideal.

Paint

Cling film

Method

Squirt small bits of paint onto the cardboard using as many colours as you would like.

Lay a piece of cling film over the top. I wrapped it around the sides too to stop the paint oozing out the sides.

Now the fun part, squish the paint through the cling film.

Once finished, peel off the cling film and leave your unique modern art piece to dry.

He dabbed gently with one finger and then really got into it with both hands.
