In this session, we’re going to explore colors, textures, and a brand-new way to create art using a super fun technique—all from the comfort of your home.

Before we dive into painting, let’s start with a quick chat.

Think about colors for a moment:

- What’s your favorite color and why?

- Can you find something around you with an interesting texture? (Maybe a fluffy pillow or a smooth glass?)

Art isn’t just about brushes and paper—it’s about experimenting, making discoveries, and having fun.

Today, you’ll be using plastic wrap to create something magical.

Let’s get started!

Materials Needed:

- Thick paper or canvas

- Non-toxic tempera or acrylic paints

- Plastic food wrap

- Cotton swabs

- Sponges

- Paintbrushes

- Small bowls for mixing colors

Step 1: Demonstration of the Magic Paint Printing Technique (15 min)

1. Give each child a sheet of thick paper.

2. Drop different paint colors directly onto the paper in random spots.

3. Cover the paper with a piece of plastic food wrap and let press, push, and move paint around under the plastic.

4. Lift the plastic off to reveal a beautifully blended and textured masterpiece!

Step 2: Adding Details with Alternative Tools (15 min)

- Use cotton swabs to create dots or draw shapes.

- Try sponges to dab interesting textures onto the artwork.

- Use fingers or brushes to create finishing touches.

Step 3: Creative Exploration (15 min)

Experiment with mixing colors, layering different printing effects, or creating a scene using their own imagination.

Step 4: Sharing and Wrap-Up (5 min)

Wow—what an incredible session!

You've all explored colors, textures, and a brand-new way to create art. Each of your paintings is unique, filled with creativity, imagination, and a touch of magic!

Before we finish, take a moment to look at your artwork.

Describe your painting and names your artwork.

What do you see? How did your colors mix? Do you notice anything unexpected or interesting?

Art isn’t just about making something beautiful—it’s about experimenting, having fun, and expressing yourself. Every piece you create is special because it comes from you!
