Golf Ball Painting

Kids will have a blast twisting and turning their tray to make the perfect artwork with this golf ball painting.

Materials:
Oven tray
2 x golf balls

Coloured paints

What’s more fun than shaking a tray about a making a mess that turns into art. Get your little ones jumping, swaying, spinning and shaking to turn their painting into something incredible. What’s great about this activity is that it is suited for all ages. Cassie and I had a blast doing it together. I put all the paints on the paper and handed the golf balls to her one by one so she could through them into the tin. I then held her hands on the pan and we started shaking together. Cassie thought it was hilarious as she watched the golf balls fly about.

After a fun art activity that is really easy to clean up after. Try this awesome homemade bath paint.

It’s a funny thing really – my little girl hates to get her finger dirty. Don’t get me wrong, she will happily shove them in dirt (and eat said dirt), burying them in the sand and other such adventures. But if you give her a tray of paint and encourage her rub her fingers into it and get painting, she will lose it. She honestly just hates it. So I went out and bought her paint brushes and this was a different story altogether. As long as her fingers didn’t have to touch the paint, she was happier than ever. Read More
