Here’s a fun and simple art project for your fall weekend – painting fall trees with q-tips. The q-tips require a bit more patience when painting than a brush does, so I recommend a small piece of paper for this activity. Let your child explore making dots, lines, and swirls with the q-tip!
Have a great weekend and happy playing!

Really, really cute. I may have to try this one!
my son loves to paint with q-tips (well, we call them cottonbuds) and having tried it myself it is soothing. I find it like writing with a smooth pen.
I love your blog, I get so much out of it. I have done q-tip painting with my kiddos as well but we use food colouring. Check out my post about it (http://ginghamcherry.blogspot.com/2008/09/stitched-books-cotton-bud-q-tip.html). You might like it as the colours are so vibrant.
I love this! I’ve got to have my son paint with q-tips sometime – it’s something I’ve never thought of! Thank you!
My girls LOVE painting with q-tips. Actually, they love painting with anything.
Great fall inspiration!
Cute idea! Where did you get those mini paint holders?
It’s always fun using something different to paint with. My little girl also loves painting with cotton buds (we call them cotton buds here in Australia).
