Painting with inks to make swirly animal prints!
Do you have a crafty kid looking for something new to try?
Designed in France using Djeco's tried and tested high quality creative components, make a colourful animal collage with a very unique painting technique.
Watch patterns appear and become an inky transfer by dropping dye into a special water solution. Swirl or splash the pigments and see how they resist blurring or blending, then dip your paper and watch the pattern magically stick!
After painting each sticker shape, peel it out and build yourself a collage. This makes the second part of the activity akin to a nice quiet puzzle with a very satisfying finish... and artwork made by you! Showcase them proudly on the fridge or make special gifts to give to family and friends.
Though there's a tiny bit of waiting needed for the paint to dry inbetween, this activity is active and engaging even just to watch the magic - great for a party or playdate!
The non-toxic paints wash up with water, and will be sure to be used again in future painting sessions as little ones master their marbling techniques.
The Marbling Paint Workshop includes 4 backdrop cards, 6 paint bottles, a painting tray and splash mat, 3 twirling sticks, 3 pouches of water solution, 44 sticker cards to paint, a reusable paint palette and a booklet of step by step instructions.
