Paint Blot Creatures

This craft is a messy one but lots of fun. Be sure to have some newspaper down for a workspace or do it outside. All you will need beyond that is a black marker or pen, some cardstock or watercolor paper, and paint.

Fold your paper in half and open it back up. Add small drips of paint in a couple of different colors around the paper until you like how they are arranged. Once you are satisfied with the placement, fold the paper in half again along the crease already made. Rub on the outside of the paper to spread the paint around. Open it back up and observe your design. Do you see a creature or two in the different colors and shapes? Let your painting dry completely. Then, go back in with your marker or pen and outline your creatures! Add in any details you would like. This is a fun project to spark the imagination, and is fun for all ages!!
