Easter Painting Tutorial for Kids!

Are you looking for a fun Easter themed art Project to do for the long Easter Weekend?
If so, these cute little Easter themed paintings are a great hands & feet on project for toddlers and young kids! 
I did this project with two children a girl age two & boy age five, there was a whole lot of giggling and creating going on!

What You Will Need:

Washable Paint in primary colours. 
Two or Three paint brushes.
White or coloured Paper (to use as your canvas)
An art tarp / old Garbage bag / recycled papers to lay down on the floor!
Markers (for detailing the Easter Bunny)
Pie Plates / whatever you prefer to contain & mix your paints.


Carrot Feet Painting!

We started off by mixing the primary coloured paints to make Orange (Red + Yellow) and Green (Blue + Yellow) which is a great way to begin teaching/learning about colours and the colour wheel!! 
After this step We began painting the soles of our feet Orange - Depending on the age(s) of the child/children participating may want to assist with these steps. 
I think the feet painting was everyone's favourite part of this entire activity!


Begin feet-stamping! - Okay wait maybe this was our favourite part.


Easter Bunny Hand Painting!

We made Brown Easter Bunnies - because it's made from all three primary colours & could be made by mixing up the left over Green & Orange from our Carrot Feet! 
This one was a little bit tricky - because you have to separate your fingers only in the center - "Live Long & Prosper" style! Thankfully the sweet little two year old girl came up with the idea to use band-aids to attach her fingers together as seen in the photo below - A brilliant life hack brought to us by a two year old! 
Begin painting the entire hand with the exception of the thumb. 

Make V/"Live Long & Prosper" Shape with hand & Begin hand-stamping! 


Once completely dry - Add any details you wish to complete your Easter Bunny using markers. - Again depending on the age(s) of the child/children you may want to assist with this step as well. 



I hope that you enjoyed this & if you do end up giving either of them a try, share the love with the #Upcy or tag @upcygirl on Instagram. I always love seeing the beautiful things you guys create!
Hoppy Easter!
