Summer after
summer I taught a children’s art camp called ‘Make a Mess’. It was wildly
popular. Why? Plenty of the parents who I spoke to admitted that they really,
truly wanted their children to experience intense process activities that
involved splatters, squishes and more. But, they also didn’t want the mess at
home. I can understand. We still have tempera caked on our dining room walls
from a balloon paint experiment gone wrong (I’ll admit it, this was totally my
fault – you should never, ever pop a paint-covered balloon that is still wet).
Let’s say
you’re ready for the mess. What kinds of kids’ art activities should you put on
the afternoon play agenda?
There’s
basically a buffer of options. So much so that you can ready about our ‘art buffet’ here. If you want more (or the kids are begging for more), I’ll suggest
combining a few materials into a multi-media artwork extraordinaire. Use
tempera paints, modeling clay (your child can stretch it and even ‘finger
paint’ with it), chalk, oil pastels, crayons, glue, glitter, fabric, paper
scraps and anything else you happen to have on hand.
I’m a fan of
color mixing, and add it into almost every art activity. Make a mess and pour
quarter-sized pools of paint on a piece of wax paper. Let your little artist drip,
drop, swirl and blend the colors together onto a piece of paper with he hands.
Still want
more? Of course you do – and so does your child. Here are a few of my favorite
messy art activities!

Lots of new ideas! I love this. Pinned to my art board.
