Craft Activities Painting: Creations for All Ages and All Desires

Painting is one of the most comprehensive creative activities for children. It allows them to explore shapes and colors, test gestures, express themselves freely, and discover various techniques. In this section, you will find all our painting activities to do with them. Tutorials adapted for all ages and all projects, from early childhood to more elaborate creations in primary school. At school, in leisure centers, or at home, painting easily integrates into children's daily activities, thanks to products designed to be accessible, fun, and safe.

Clean Painting: Painting Without Getting Messy for the Little Ones

Clean painting allows children to paint without direct contact with the paint, while still enjoying the gestures and discovering colors. This technique is particularly suited for the very first experiments or contexts where an unconstrained painting activity is desired. Thanks to our clean painting tutorials and our adapted materials, children can manipulate, press, spread, and observe colors mixing in complete tranquility. Clean painting is a perfectly adapted tutorial for under 3-year-olds and fits perfectly into our ideas for craft activities to do in preschool, where sensory exploration is at the heart of learning.

Finger Painting: A First Sensory Approach

Finger painting is often children's first real encounter with paint. It allows them to paint directly with their hands, feel the texture, and discover colors through touch. Highly appreciated by toddlers, it promotes motor skills, coordination, and free expression. Paired with our painting materials, paint rollers, or sponge and foam stamps, finger painting becomes a rich activity suitable for babies and allows for organizing a safe activity.

Explore Different Paints and Techniques

This section presents all our paints to vary effects and creative projects. Children can discover gouache, acrylic paint, watercolor, or colored inks, as well as more specific techniques such as effect paint, relief paint, paint by numbers, or fabric paint. More artistic or decorative approaches are also offered, including marbling, linocut, silk painting, glass painting, or china painting. Posca markers allow for precise painting and drawing on numerous surfaces.

Paint on Different Supports and Structure the Creative Space

Painting activities truly come to life when they are associated with various supports. Thanks to our painting materials, our canvases, or decorating objects, children can adapt their creations to their desires. To support workshops, our brushes, palettes, aprons, stencils, and rollers facilitate organization and encourage autonomy. Window decor and scratch paints also allow for exploring other ways to paint and decorate.

Learn Colors and Paint According to Themes

Painting is an excellent medium for learning colors, experimenting with mixes, and observing contrasts. It naturally integrates into our tutorials about nature, our party tutorials, and our seasonal tutorials, creating projects suited for every occasion. Painting activities can also be combined with other creative techniques, such as collage or drawing, serving as a foundation for tutorials to create artwork or for more comprehensive decorative projects.
