Ideas for Art Activities
These printables are a helpful tool for teaching colors to young children. You can use the simple buckets in our paint cans and brushes section to have kids color each can a different primary or secondary color. This works especially well for preschoolers learning their basic hues. You can even write the name of the color on the blank label of the metal bucket before handing them out.
Coloring the Details
For older kids and adults, the spray paint cans offer more complex patterns. You can use bright neon markers or gel pens to make the aerosol spray clouds stand out. When coloring the spilled paint scenes, try blending two colors together in the puddle to show how they mix. Pairing these sheets with a paint palette coloring page makes a complete artist-themed activity pack.
Adding Real Paint
Since these pages feature art supplies, it makes sense to use actual watercolor paints or finger paints instead of just crayons. Print the pages on heavy cardstock so the paper can handle the moisture. Kids can dip their fingers in real paint to add thumbprint splatters around the dripping paint spills for a textured, mixed-media effect.
