Paper Plate painting
As the name suggests, this activity is just free play!! Throw in some Halloween colours onto the paper plate. Use Dabble’s Chubby brushes to paint or just fingers! 🖐🏻Let them dry. After drying, let your lil munchkin draw in some expressions with black paint or a marker. 🖌️
Use these paper plates as masks later , spider web plate or simply as yet another simple Halloween Art decor!! 👻
Halloween Jar Painting
It is as simple and fun as it sounds! There are 2 ways to do this -
- Pour some Dabble’s vibrant paint in the jar, swirl it around and let it dry.
- Create different halloween expressions on the outer jar with either Dabble’s non toxic paints or a marker. This way you can reuse the jars and only the expressions can change with the seasons by erasing/wiping off the expressions from the outer jar.
- Paint the outer part of the Jar with Dabble’s vibrant paint!
- Draw expressions on the outer jar,instead of pouring the paint from inside - this method might save a little paint plus can be washed off easier. Both these ways will look different and unique in their own ways.
🍭Use these jars to store candies or treats and decorate your home with these colourful art Halloween jars.🍭
