My kids and I tried something different this week — Crinkle Painting
Materials:
Paper (I used drawing paper)
Pencils, crayons
Dark paint
Water
First have the kids draw an image on the paper preferably using the whole page. Then color hard (trying not to break the crayons). Then crumble to the paper in a wad then smooth out with your hands and then repeat the same process of crumbling. Next use a dark acrylic or tempera paint and paint over the while paper and then CAREFULLY put in the sink turn the water on. Hold the paper in one hand and in the other GENTLY rinse the paint off the paper. BE VERY CAREFUL because the paper gets soggy and the 1st piece my son did got so soggy that it ripped up in pieces and fell apart and he cried (I felt so bad), The best thing is if your sink has a pull our spray hose use this instead and allow the water to gently rinse the paint off. Finally allow it to dry flat and you will see all the paint in the the crinkle pieces on the paper.
My daughter drew more girly stuff:
This was a fun craft, perfect for a rainy day!
Do you have an educational post? Could be homeschool related or not (no giveaways please). Crafts, recipes, summer fun, etc. are welcomed!

I really like how they came out. I love that you are always coming up with neat projects like this for your kids!!
That is a neat idea. Like the look of it.
I remember doing something like this in art class when I was younger. So fun!
I think I did something like that when I was a kid in art class, too!
This is super cool! I love craft ideas that are not full-on projects to complete! These look so fun!
My daughter loves art projects. I will definitely try this one with her.
That is so neat! I know my niece would love to see how one of these turns out.
What a great and creative idea! Super cute!
I think they turned out great. Some really cool art work.
I think kids would like the different tactile nature of this craft! (wet, crinkle, scribble, etc.)
What a cool idea! It has been raining here all week and I have been looking for things to do with the kids, this will be on todays craft list! Thanks!
What a fun idea! Art should be both messy 😉 and fun!
What a fun idea! My boys would love this messy craft!
Such A Neat Craft To Do With The Kids I Will Have To Try This Over The Summer With The Kids!!
This is such a cute craft idea! My kids would love it because they are always wanting to create art.
This is so neat! I love creative projects like this when the kids are out for summer.
How cute! In all my years of teaching, I never ssen that! They came out so cute!
crinkle art is so much fun! I remember doing that in school!
Really creative art idea for the kids! I’ll tell my sister about this one – my nephew would enjoy this. Thanks!
I love how that turns out! What a great idea!
This looks like a lot of fun and I’m sure my daughter would enjoy doing this! It looks like a great rainy day activity as well!
What a great project to help promote a child’s creativity. I love the Lego picture, but the flowers really did it for me. So cute.
I used to do this when I was a kid in school, I need to try this with my kids!
I haven’t done this in years! This is a great idea to pass on to my daughter that babysits.
Such a fun and cute idea. Thanks for sharing, the kids will love it.
What an awesome idea! I don’t think I have ever done crinkle painting, I wonder if we would have that much fun too!
I remember doing a similar project in elementary school! This is a great project!
Oh that’s cool! I’ve definitely not thought about the crinkling part!
How fun and cute! Sorry to hear your son’s first one wasn’t a success, but at least it was a learning experience and the next ones turned out great!
This is a very fun art project! I love the effect it gives.
This looks like a fun project. My kids would love to do this.
That is such a cute idea. I’m always looking for new things to try with my daughter. Thank you.
What a crafty idea. I love the way the art looks after the paper is crinkled.
What a fun idea! My three kiddos would love it!
What a sweet project for all ages!
Oh that is so awesome – something I know my kids would love to do. My little miss is super-creative and loves drawing. Will have to try this over the Summer.
This will be such an awesome project to do with the kiddos. I can’t wait to try it with them.
I would have never thought of that! My son might actually enjoy this art project!
My kids have brought this home from school but had no idea how they did it.
I like the effect. It almost has a tissue paper quality.
Fun project! Thank you for linking with Home Sweet Home!
