You will need

  • cotton pads
  • large paper
  • tempera paint
  • hammer of some kind

How to:

Find a suitable place for your paper, tape it down on the edges/corners so it doesn’t come off. Place blobs of paint randomly on the paper and cover with a cotton pad. Let your child smash the cotton pad to reveal the color underneath in a big splat. You can also put two colors next to each other so when they smash it they make a new color. Have fun!
