Kitchen Roll Paint Patterns

Make kitchen roll paint patterns.

Fold up a piece of kitchen roll.


Dip the corners into watery paint. We dipped each corner into a different colour.

The paint will run along the paper. You can talk about how the paper absorbs the watery paint and you can see where it travels.

Fold out and let dry.
(We did this a few years ago.)
We stuck the patterns to card to make birthday cards.

Mosaic Picture

Make a mosaic picture. You could use coloured paper for the mosaic pieces. Either tear up or practice cutting skills and cut coloured paper up. Use a piece of coloured card for the background. Black looks good. Decide what the picture will be in the middle. Pick two colours for the border and alternate the pieces. Place on card first then glue down. Create the picture in the centre. Could be a flower, animal, sport related, initials, a rainbow, football etc Glue central picture down when happy with picture. Then choose one or two similar colours  to fill in the background. Glue pieces down. We used painted lasagne pasta (which was out of date) which we've had in the craft cupboard for over a year!
