Messy Art
What Is Messy Art?
Messy art is fun. You use paint, glue, and bright colors. It can be squishy, sticky, and splashy.
Things You Need
- Paint in big cups
- A big tray or paper
- Sponges, brushes, and fingers
- Old clothes or a smock
How to Make It
- Put paint on the tray.
- Touch the paint with your fingers.
- Spread, swirl, and splash.
- Look at the bright colors you made.
Clean Up
Ask a grown‑up to help. Wash your hands with soap. Put the paint back in the lid. Hang your art to dry.
Enjoy the mess and make lots of happy art!
