I recently got a set of sponge brushes from Michael’s for doing summer activities with my toddler and quickly discovered that this is the best way to teach little children paint with liquid colors! I realized that its much easier for them to handle sponge brushes compared to the regular brushes.

In this activity I will share how we painted  a bunch of flowers with sponge brushes and Crayola washable paint ( you may use Acrylic or Tempera paint too).

Things needed:

1. 8×10 canvas panel
2. Paint set 3-4 colors
3. sponge brushes round and flat edged.
   
   

   

   

Dip your round brush in a dark colored paint and make some dots (center of the flowers) randomly on your canvas. This is to give you an idea as to where your flowers should be.

Next we got the yellow color on the flat edged sponged and create your petals one by one, start from the edge of the circle and flick it outwards. Go around the center of the flower.

Repeat and use as many colors as you like to make your picture colorful.
