While Blog hopping a few days ago I saw a little one doing cloud painting they where using a homemade bush which was a peg pinched onto a cotton ball. This idea really got my brain ticking what could I use to make some homemade brushes? I don't have any cotton balls in the cupboard but we always have newspaper. Neevah asked to do painting today so I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to try out some homemade newspaper brushes.
You will need
Paint
Pegs
Newspaper
Paper to paint on
To Make
1 .Scrunch some newspaper into a small ball, fold some newspaper into squares or rectangles then add pegs to your newspaper they make great handles for little hands
2 .Set out your paper, paint and newspaper paint brushes and invite your child to paint
3 .Sit back and see what your child creates - Neevah enjoyed using her newspaper brushes with a dabbing and stamping motion

Thanks Deborah! but i did forget to mention the small scrunched up paper ball did slip out of the peg a little but Neevah just re positioned it and kept on painting LOL that girl loves to get paint on her hands :)
Love this idea! So simple yet so effective.
I love this activity I'm implementing it & will place pom poms, paper & cotton balls on table beside pegs for children to pick up desired tool great fine motor skill as well as fun. Thanks lady's luv the internet!!
