Painting Techniques on Tuesday Tots

Last weeks Tuesday Tots featured over 100 ideas and some great new Painting Techniques to try with your tots. We love painting, but unless we’re printing with something to hand (like our toy animals) we tend to stick to brushes. Three painting techniques stood out to me and I’m featuring them this week.

First off is some natural painting techniques from Mummy Musings and Mayhems with seed pod stamping – I can’t wait to try this in our autumn when we have seed heads again and will be growing some poppies this year for their seed head patterns in our garden.

Check out this fun natural painting techniques over on Adventures at home with mum with some Mud process painting with utensils – perfect for where ever you are, create some mud and get painting yourself.

Lastly is giving kids real painting tools to get painting from Miss Courtney Meets Bobo – this looks such a lot of fun and reminds me of the fence painting that we did with J when he was just under 2.

In our Prompts to Play Newsletter this week I also featured 3 baking ideas from last weeks Tuesday Tots – from Life at the Zoo, Here Comes the Girls and Mummy Musings and Mayhem please check out the latest edition and subscribe to future editions to your inbox on a Monday.

These painting techniques look like a lot of fun. We have been experimenting with different techniques lately, too. Some of our favorites have been painting with pine needles and “pop” painting with unpopped corn kernels.

We haven’t painted with seed pods yet – we’ll have to give that one a try. We did try different varieties of evergreen over the holidays, which was interesting.
