Q-Tip Painting Templates – Free Printables
Q-tip painting is a fantastic way to engage kids in a creative and enjoyable art activity. My daughter has loved doing Q-tip art for years! She’s six now and still has a lot of fun with them. Even her older, teenage brothers will join in and paint with her (which makes her very happy). It’s a wonderful bonding experience for the family.
She’s even asked me to do some along side her. And let me tell you, it’s definitely very relaxing! Remember the adult coloring page trend? People love it so much because it’s a simply activity that helps reduce stress and anxiety. I feel like Q-tip painting can do the same!
And while we’ve gathered up several Q-tip painting printables to share with you for the kiddos, if you don’t feel like doing any of these just grab any coloring page you want (adult or kid version) and use Q-tips and fill it in with paint dots. Get creative. Get Silly. Have fun!
Now, onto the free printables!
These printable templates are great for toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary students. Simply grab some Q-tips. They don’t need to be anything fancy. The cheap off-brand version from the local dollar store will work just fine for this project. You’ll also need some washable paint or some Do A Dot Art! Markers.
After gathering your Q-tips and paint, simple grab your favorite free printable from the options below and start filling it in!
