Monster Splat Paintings

This monster splat painting is super simple to do with even with really little ones.

Make sure you follow my Halloween board on Pinterest for more ideas.  Don’t forget to save the pin for later.

To do your monster splat painting you will need:

• Paint
• Paper
• Spoon
• Table covering
• Googly eyes

This craft can get rather messy as the paint will spread, make sure that you have a tablecloth out and art aprons on if you don’t like things getting covered in paint.

Squeeze some paint onto your paper.  Remember the bigger the blob of paint, the more it will spread.

Then get your little one to hit each blob of paint with a spoon.  This will make some nice splat patterns.  Next have a pile of googly eyes ready for your little one to add.

NC went from splatting the paint with her spoon to smearing it with her fingers.  I could have tried to stop her, but this is all part of the learning process.

The biggest mess I had to clear up from this was NC herself.  Not only did she like smearing the paint over the paper, she also enjoyed smearing it on her face like it was moisturiser.  Good thing I had plenty of wet wipes to hand.
