Leaf Paint Brush Kids Art

August 25, 2017 By Jacque 3 Comments

Have you ever thought about painting art with found objects? It’s a really great way to not only help kids explore art but it also can teach them about different textures.  Since Fall is just around the corner I decided that it would be fun to create a leaf paint brush.  The leaves can be dried or plucked fresh from the tree.  Maybe make one of each and then the kiddos can decide which leaf paint brush they like painting with the best. Creating art with kids doesn't have to be boring. Explore textures and different media by using found objects to paint. Leaf paint brush art is a great way to experiment.

In order to make your leaf paint brush art you are going to need a few things.

MATERIALS:

Stick or old paint brush
Leaves (5 or 6) from a live tree or faux (like these)
Craft Paints
Tape
Artist Canvas (any size)
Paper Plate
Creativity

Start by bundling the stems of the leaves together and wrapping them tightly with tape.  Once they are bundled tightly and attach the bundle to the stick or old brush.

Dip the leaf paint brush into the paints, apply liberally.

Finally PAINT!  Paint until their little hearts are content!  Oh yeah and a bonus of the painting is that the leaves turn out lovely too!

    […] One method for leaf painting is to make a leaf brush.  Simply tape some leaves to the end of a normal paint brush and paint away.  It’s best if you just dip parts of the leaves in the paint and then apply to paper rather than coating too much of the leaves with the paint.  Source. […]
