What you need:
White craft paper
Bows
Paper plates
Paint (yellow, red, green, blue)
Masking tape
Learning Goals and Standards:
- Develop fine motor skills (grasping, pressing, and gluing)
- Encourage creativity and color exploration
- Strengthen hand–eye coordination
What you do:
Preparation:
Pour small amounts of each paint color onto separate paper plates.
Place a gift bow in each paint color.
Cut two corners from the white craft paper (to create a flap or simple frame)
Lightly place masking tape strips on the paper to form a simple design or border.
Painting:
Demonstrate how to dip the bow into the paint and press it onto the paper to make colorful bow prints.
Encourage children to continue stamping until their paper is covered with bright, overlapping prints.
Carefully remove the masking tape to reveal clean white lines.
Finishing Touch:
Let each child glue a bow to the top flap of their artwork as decoration.
Display the finished bow art in the classroom for everyone to admire!
