Paint & Print

Painting and printing are great activities for creative development and fine motor skills. Here's some inspiration for your next painting activity!

Crayon Resistant Pictures

Create bright and colourful images that look great no matter how well you can draw! The more lines and colours the better! Use your artworks to create wall hangings, cards, wrapping paper...the list goes on and on!

  • Step 1Draw a picture onto your paper. Make sure you press firmly when using the oil pastels to create thicker and more vibrant lines.
  • Try and fill your page using lots of bright colours!
  • Step 2Once you are happy with your design, use thick brushes to paint watercolour paint over the top.
  • It’s okay if the colours mix- this creates even more colours!
  • Step 3Set aside somewhere flat to dry.
