Keep school holidays boredom at bay, with this quick set up Fine Motor Foil Painting activity for kids of all ages to enjoy.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Tin<\/p>\n

We are now settled into our relaxed summer schedule, as we celebrate the end of week 3 of our school holidays. We’ve been slowing down our days and\u00a0going outside for lots of fresh air and fun<\/a>.\u00a0Once back inside, I have been keeping our activities quick and simple to set up. (To match the present pace of our days.)<\/p>\n

Simple Painting Projects like our\u00a0Tape Resist Sponge Painting<\/a> or Dinosaur Painting <\/a>have been popular. As was this fun tin foil painting art project.<\/p>\n

We love to explore different textures and materials when we are painting. We recently used pastels for the first time to create our very own Kandinsky inspired masterpieces.<\/a><\/p>\n

This week I set up a new Painting activity for Bella and her friend to enjoy. I cut out sheets of tin foil and loaded up paper plates with different coloured paint. Then instead of brushes; I laid out cotton buds. Q-tips as they are also known, are a great fine motor tool to strengthen your child’s pincer grip.<\/p>\n

Using a different painting tool is also a great way to ignite your child’s interest in a new project and\u00a0to\u00a0get their creative juices flowing.<\/em><\/p>\n

I sat down with the girls to do this activity (I even had a go myself). It was a lovely session with them both. We chatted together about our paintings and took inspiration from each other as we created.<\/p>\n

When we eventually ran out of tin foil (it’s back on the shopping list!). We carried on our painting session with sheets of bubble wrap. We had great fun popping a few bubbles as we went along as well (why is is impossible to resist doing this with bubble wrap?)
