Flower Painting: Spring Process Art
We decided to take our art into the outdoors this week, with a fun, inexpensive, easy process art activity. We ditched the paintbrush in favor of bright sunny (and extraordinarily available) dandelions. There really are no directions for this activity, just free exploration of the materials for your child.
Little M. had fun making large sweeping motions across the page with her flowers as well as jabbing the paper to make dots. The activity even prompted her to try and search the backyard for more impromptu paintbrushes.
(You may also be interested in our observation of broccoli flowers.)
Pack up your art supplies and head outside for this activity. Pick some flowers with your child in the backyard. Once you and your child feel you have enough flowers, find a comfortable place to begin painting.
Looking for a math activity using flowers? Check out our flower measurement activity.
Pour a small amount of paint onto your pallet (we actually forgot to bring something out to use as a pallet, so we just used another piece of paper). Let your child freely explore the materials. They can paint with the flower or the stem. At one point Little M. decided to forage for some grass and paint with that!
Need a book to go with this activity? Check out our roundup of children's books about flowers.
If your child picks very short flowers, it may be helpful to use some clothespins to create a handle for the “paintbrush.” It might also be a good idea to use them if you know that your child does not like the sensory experience of touching paint (the clothespin will create a buffer).
