Your junior Jedi can try out this lightsaber painting project. If lightsabers and painting aren’t exactly two things that seem to go together, you’re line of thinking is probably right. But, it’s also entirely possible. I’m not talking about using your child’s precious play lightsaber to get artsy. Instead, he can transform a paintbrush into one that looks like the Star Wars movie staple. How?
Here’s What
You’ll Need:
·
A
paintbrush
·
Kitchen
foil
·
Black
electrical tape
·
Scissors
·
Paper
Here’s What
to Do:
1. Tear a
sheet of foil off of the roll. Fold it in half.
2. Place the
paintbrush (brush side towards the bottom) at the end of the folded foil. Your
child will cover the brush part and paint with the opposite end.
3. Fold the
foil around the brush, creating a few layers. Your child only needs to cover
half of the paintbrush. The foil is the lightsaber’s handle.
4. Use the
tape to add accents to the handle. Cut the tape into pieces and wrap it around
the foil. Your child can craft any designs he wants to.
5. Pour a
few pools of paint onto a paper plate or make a wax paper palette.
6. Finger
paint the tempera onto the paper.
7. Use the
lightsaber to ‘draw’ in the paint. Make abstract patterns, designs or create a
favorite character from the Star Wars movie (who doesn’t like Chewbacca in paint?).
And, there
you go – Star Wars crafts for kids! Your child can also use the end of the
lightsaber to directly paint with. Just dip it into the paint.
