This is a fun, yet simple craft that can result in a pretty picture. If you want, you can follow our path of making Thailand or Japanese cherry trees, but this would work for any flowering tree.

Draw your tree, then dip the bottom of a 2 liter or 20 ounce soda bottle into the paint color of your choice, and use the bottom of the bottle as a stamp to add flowers on your branches. Add background and scenery to form a complete picture. 

Bend a paper towel roll to create a shape on one end, such as a heart or leaf shape, dip that end into paint and stamp away on a piece of paper.

Finger painting is great fun, usually leaning to the younger kids who don't quite have the best control with crayons or paint brushes. However, it can be fun for any age.

Kids love getting their faces painted. Dinosaurs. Butterflies. Movie characters. There are usually a lot of options to choose from. Plus, face painting is typically at events filled with all kinds of fun for kids.

There are a lot of fun and interesting ways to paint. One such way that kids really get a kick out of is to put paint on a fly swatter and let the kid go to town hitting the paper, making wild patterns.
