  • Balloon painting
  • String painting
  • Cotton tip painting
  • Mini spinner painting (painted patty pans on paper)
  • Marble painting
  • Elastic band (snap) painting (thanks to Irresistible Ideas for Play Based Learning for this one!)
  • Tootbrush painting
  • Painting with cardboard tube
  • Finger painting
  • Painting with sponges
  • Painting with lids
  • Painting with leaves
  • Hand painting
  • Dropper painting with coloured water
  • Painting with cotton filters
  • Painting using toy cars
  • Chalk paint (chalk and water)
  • Tiny paintbrush painting
  • Pop stick painting
  • Shave foam marbling (food colouring)
  • Food colouring painting on wax drawings (magic! Invisible pictures made visible)
