Cling wrap painting is a fun and easy activity for kids! Here's how you can do it:

Materials:

How to Dabble?

  • Wrap the cling wrap outdoors/ or on the legs of the table (you can also lay the table upside down)
  • Squeeze small blobs of paint onto the plastic wrap
  • Use a paintbrush or your fingers to swirl the paint around on the plastic wrap, mixing the colors together.

You should be left with a colorful, swirled pattern on the wrap Tada!! Reveal your beautiful cling wrap painting!

There are several benefits to painting on cling wrap, especially for kids. Here are a few:

  • Creativity and experimentation: Painting on cling wrap allows kids to experiment with color mixing and create unique designs. They can swirl the paint around and see what happens, and the results can be surprisingly beautiful.
  • Fine motor skills: Painting on cling wrap can help kids develop their fine motor skills, as they need to use a paintbrush or their fingers to manipulate the paint.
  • Sensory experience: Painting on cling wrap can be a tactile and sensory experience for kids, as they can feel the texture of the plastic wrap and the paint as they work.
  • Easy cleanup: Painting on cling wrap is a mess-free activity, as any spills or drips can be easily cleaned up with a paper towel or by removing the plastic wrap.
  • Low cost: Cling wrap painting requires only a few materials, which are usually inexpensive and easy to find. This makes it a great activity for parents and caregivers who want to provide creative and engaging experiences for kids without breaking the bank.

Overall, painting on cling wrap can be a fun and engaging activity that provides a range of benefits for kids.

Happy Dabbling and Happy Summer! ☀️
