Dip and Tip Sponge Painting
Sponge triangles and washable paint make the perfect combo for stamping designs and patterns. Mix colors and shapes, tip and flip the sponges. Paint with friends outdoors! What fun!
1. Take a good look at a triangle sponge. How many different shapes can you find? They’re all great for painting!
2. Cover your craft area with newspaper or paint outdoors with friends. Set out different colors of Crayola® Washable Kid’s Paint. Choose your favorite colors, your country’s flag colors, or any cool combination. Use paper plates for palettes.
3. Dip a triangle edge or point into paint. Print the color on white paper. Make several prints to see how the color lightens and coverage changes as the paint is used.
4. For color-mixing fun: Print one color, and then a different color on top of it. Put the sponge in two different colors and press. Swirl to mix colors.
5. Experiment with designs, patterns, shapes, and colors, or even print a realistic scene. The possibilities are endless!
