You can create not only with paints and brushes. Interesting ideas for drawing are waiting for you literally on every corner: a lot of unusual materials for creativity will instill in your kid a love of art.
Stampers
Ideas for drawing with children are distinguished by their originality. Cut various shapes out of foam rubber. Let the child dip them in paint and leave prints on paper, after which he completes the picture with small details with a brush. You can offer the baby to create an ornament.
Stamps can also be cut from fruits or vegetables. To do this, cut the apple or potato into two parts and cut out the future pattern. You can use carrots or Beijing cabbage.
Embossed pattern
Ideas for drawing with children can even be found in the kitchen: add flour to the paint. Let the baby draw a picture for you, and as soon as it dries, the result will surprise you.
We draw with soap bubbles
Mix shampoo, a little paint and water in a glass with water. Using a cocktail tube, dip it into a container of water and blow into it until the foam rises above the edges of the glass. Next, attach the paper to the soap bubbles and see what happened.
Ask the child to draw the picture to a recognizable shape: the yellow imprint from the bubble can be turned into a chicken, and blue - into a cloud. Ideas for drawing foam and soap bubbles are truly endless.
Finger painting
Where is the fine line between creativity and prank? Why is it necessary to draw with a brush? Our palms and fingers are an invaluable tool for creativity. So, the index finger on the right palm listens to the child even better than a pencil.
Spot drawing
Unusual ideas for drawing with pencil and paints always delight kids. Children like everything interesting and unconventional. Drawing with dots can be considered a very unusual technique.
Take a pencil, felt-tip pen or a regular ear stick, but it should be noted that spot painting is better obtained using paints (for each of the colors you will need a separate stick).
This technique allows you to unusually depict mimosa or lilac. Twig lines can be drawn with a felt-tip pen, but clusters of flowers themselves should be done better with sticks.
Ideas for drawing with dots are not limited to the image of flowers: you can draw berries or animals. And you can cut mittens, a dress or a tablecloth from white cardboard and decorate it with dots.
Candlestick drawing
Let the kid draw a picture on a white paper with a candle or wax crayon , and then paint on top of the picture. Since the paint does not lie on the greasy traces of the candle, the drawing made will "appear".
Monotype or cellophane painting
On cellophane, paint a picture with thick and bright paint. This can be done with a finger, brush or match with a cotton swab or stick for cleaning the ears. Until the paint has dried, turn the cellophane face down on thick white paper. Blot the drawing and carefully remove the film.
Blotography
The method is for the child to learn how to make blots of different colors. Then, looking at them, he will be able to see interesting details, objects or images.
This idea requires gouache, a thick brush and thick paper.
Fold the sheet of paper in half and unfold it again. On one of the two halves, the baby should put a few fat blots, curls or strokes. Then, not allowing the paint to dry, you need to bend the sheet in half again and press firmly with your palm. Can be put under the press from books for a few seconds. Next, carefully unfold the paper.
You will see an unusual pattern with which you can develop the baby’s imagination and thinking, asking questions like “What does my blot look like? What does she resemble? ”
At the request of the child, you can go to the next stage - painting the blots. As a result of the work, a whole story can be obtained about the bizarre world of blots.
Thread drawing
Interesting ideas for drawing are not limited to those already listed. Dip the woolen thread in gouache, and then squeeze between two sheets of paper. Let the baby pull the end of the thread and move it inside. Result: an unusual image in which you can see many interesting images.
