Activity For Kids:
Cotton bud tip painting
The paintings from this activity are gorgeous and help to encourage kid's creativity and fine motor skills.
This activity also uses supplies I usually have in the house: cotton buds and paint.
This activity is inspired by ideas from Cotton bud tip painting.
What you'll learn
This activity is great to teach your kids:
Fine motor skills involve movement of the smaller muscle groups in your child's hands, fingers, and wrists.
Developing fine motor skills will help your child to write and prepares her for school. But it will also help your children with everyday tasks like eating, and dressing themselves.
Creative activities help children express themselves and create something from nothing, explore materials and activities and use their imagination.
Colour recognition activities helps children get to know the different colors and color blending and matching.
Sensory play is play that involves all the senses - taste, sound, sight, touch and smell. Sensory play is very beneficial to children. Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks. Sensory play is also very relaxing and rejuvenating to children.

We tried it
My daughter really enjoyed this cotton buds painting and I will do it again for them. I also did a bit of painting as she painted and she caught on, also dabbing the tip of the cotton bud to make dots.
