Introducing stamp play you can set up in no time! For the sponge, just add some rubber bands 🧽 and the spoon works as-is 👌 The only thing to watch is the paint thickness 🎨✨ For the butterfly, using a bit more water than for the tulip made stamping easier 🦋#Childcare Crafting#Making Play#Spring crafts#paintStamp#Production Video

Kitchen paper bouquet

It looks just like the real thing! 😍✨ You know how you go for a walk, pick some flowers, and then they wilt… such a common thing, right?? But with this, you can easily make flowers that look real and never wilt! 😍✨ The material is—believe it or not—kitchen paper!! Color it with water-based markers, shape it into a flower, then spritz it with water 💕 And in no time, your flower is done! By the way, you don’t even have to cut it into circles—just crumple it up as a square and secure it with a pipe cleaner, and that works too 😆👍 They look cute as room decor, and they’d make a great Mother’s Day gift next month… 😍♥️ Dads of the world!

A butterfly that makes swipe art fun

Recommended for preschoolers! Here’s a fun butterfly idea using swipe art.

Swipe art is an art style that uses a swiping motion—sliding your finger or a tool—while drawing.

Colors spread like flowing paint, and you can enjoy unpredictable blends while creating something dynamic! This time, let’s make the butterfly from the popular children’s book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” It’s a great way to enjoy the mixing and changing of colors.

Butterflies drawn with colored ice water

Also great as a sensory play activity! Here’s an idea for painting butterflies using ice made from colored water.

It’s a highly recommended sensory play activity! The chill of the ice combined with the vivid colors will engage children’s senses, making the creative process fun.

As they watch the ice melt, they can enjoy the way the colors spread, making it a fulfilling activity.

It’s also nice to do on warm days out on the terrace or in the playground.

A wonderful idea to enjoy both coolness and art!
