Salad Spinner Art
Salad Spinner Art is always a favorite activity in our preschool classroom! Here are a few different art projects you can use the salad spinner throughout the school year. Scroll to the bottom to see my best tips for Salad Spinner Art in preschool!
Use primary paint colors red, yellow, and blue to make secondary colors.
Cut out pumpkin shapes and use orange, red, and yellow fall paint colors. Add a small square of brown construction paper to make fall pumpkins.
For a fun Christmas art project make peppermints with red paint and glitter. Wrap in cellophane and tie the ends for a more festive look.
For Valentine’s Day cut out heart shapes and add red, pink, and white paint.
Make fun snails during springtime!
Tips:
Use pipettes to add the paint to the paper, this is great fine motor practice.
Add a little clear liquid soap to the paint to thin it out.
Be patient with the kids as they are spinning, it takes a few times for them to get the hang of it, but once they do they can be 100% independent in creating their artwork.
Always cut out more paper than you think you will need, your kids will want to make multiple art pieces.
Experiment with different colors and shapes! Enjoy!
