Letter C: Cotton Ball Art




Do you have some cotton balls and clothespins? I love art projects that don't require a trip to the craft store for supplies. Pinch the clothespin onto the cotton ball to make it easy to handle. Put blobs of one to three different paint colors onto a paper plate and let your little one create.

This activity can be easily used as an alphabet art project for many different letters of the alphabet. Here are some examples...
Alphabet Letter G for green: Use blue, yellow, and green. Mixing the blue and yellow will create green.
Alphabet Letter C for cotton balls and clothespins
Alphabet letter P for purple: Use blue, red, and purple. Mixing blue and red create purple.
Alphabet letter F for fall: Use fall colors red, orange, and yellow for art that looks like fall leaves in the wind.
Any letter of the alphabet: With a marker, write a letter of the alphabet on a white paper. Use the cotton ball to dot paint on the letter.
Alphabet letter R for red (or any color and its letter): Paint with just one color and write the letter the color begins with ten times randomly on the page.
Any other ideas?
