MATERIALS: • Cotton balls • Craft paint • Craft paper • Paper plate and paper towel • Puffy paint (optional) DIRECTIONS: 1. Set up your painting station by pouring paint out onto your paper plate. Place your plate and craft paper onto a paper towel to catch any mess. 2. Dip a cotton ball into the paint and press it into your paper. Make all sorts of winter designs on your paper – snow, rain, clouds, even a snowman. Notice the differences when your background canvas is white or black! 3. Create a cute wintery scene! Kids will love painting with cotton balls, giving them a new tool to use as they paint, as well as making fun designs for winter. 4. Once your designs have dried, add a little puffy paint to them to give your shape dimension. We added all sorts of items to our snowman to bring him to life. 38
