We love doing Q tip painting: it’s easy, pretty little mess for a painting craft and typically keeps attention for a long time. For this Q tip painting, we made it a patriotic painting! I love anything red, white and blue and this craft looks so pretty hanging for all the festive summer holidays coming. Ready for some red, white and blue Q tip painting?

To make the star shapes, I taped on stars and then removed them. This way they can Q-tip paint all over the paper as messy as they like and then when you remove the stars, there is a nice white star in the middle of the painting. Also, it’s fun for the kids to watch that part.

Stick star shapes onto white paper with tape (rolled on the back). You can use star foam stickers, stars cut from paper, anything. Using qtips, let kids make dots all over the paper with red & blue paint. Once dry, peel off the stars.
