Q-Tip Painting Basketballs

My boys love to paint and since March Madness is almost here I thought it would be fun to do a little Q-Tip Painting Basketballs!

Supplies:

• Craft Paint { we used Martha Stewart Crafts Paint in Carrot}
• Q-Tips
• Basketballs Outline printed out on white cardstock

Click on the Basketball Outline and save to print! You could watercolor these like the Eggs & Shamrocks, too!

Dip the Q-Tip in the orange paint and start dotting away! Remind your kiddos to stay in the basket ball lines. This is great fine motor practice!!

Dot away until all the basketballs are full.

Aren’t they darling!?! They are just as cute as the Q-Tip Painted Footballs we did a while back!

Now you can let them dry and enjoy them OR…

Make a Basketball Garland!

Gather these supplies:

• Q-Tip Painting Basketballs
• Hole Punch {we used Fiskars 1/16 Inch Circle Hand Punch}
• Scissors
• Baker’s Twine

Cut out the basketballs {a great opportunity for your kiddos to practice their cutting skills}.

Punch two holes in the tops of the basketballs.

String the basketballs onto the baker’s twine.

Hang and enjoy your mini basketball garland!

Wouldn’t this be darling for a basketball party or for March Madness!?!
