Supplies
- Rubber Mallets
- Cotton Rounds
- Cardstock or white cloth
- Paint (various colors)
Directions
- I suggest taking this activity outdoors. This is a messy art project. I still have paint on my patio. If not, spread a large blanket or plastic shower curtain down before starting this project.
- Place drops of paint on the cardstock or cloth then cover with a cotton round.
- Next, swing the rubber mallet and smash the cotton rounds. This is the best part of the activity. Make sure to assist younger children.
- Finally, remove the cotton rounds and allow it to dry. This completes your colorful smash painting!
The boys had a great time using the rubber mallet. My 5- year old did a wonderful job helping his little brother with this art project. They thought it was so cool to see the paint flying in different directions. This was a messy activity but we had a so much fun.
