Finger Painting

Finger painting uses fingers, hands and paint to make bold, textured pictures. It is a fun way to explore colour mixing, patterns and shapes. Finger painting lets young artists feel the paint and experiment without worrying about brushes.

Start with a few colours and see what happens when you mix them on the paper. Printing with your fingertips or palms can create patterns, animals and flowers. Covering an old table or using an apron keeps the mess under control.
