Let’s bring out our inner artist with silhouette art for kids using spray bottles filled with paint! Nurturing the seed of creativity in our kids is a beautiful thing! My love for painting and all things art was developed at a very young age. I believe it was because of all the encouragement I received from my parents and teachers.

How to Make Silhouette art for kids

In Kindergarten, my teacher praised my work as if I was the next Picasso. I was far from becoming the next Picasso but she loved encouraging us. I’m sure she did this with every child. My desire is to find ways to help my children explore their artistic side and nurture their creativity!

We are going to use stickers and spray bottles filled with paint and water to make fun silhouette art. This is a great activity for preschool through early elementary-aged kids.

Instructions for making silhouette art

Step 1

Have your kids place stickers where they want them on thick white cardstock. For our ocean scene, I used assorted letter stickers and sea life stickers.

Step 2

In a spray bottle, mix 4 tablespoons of water with a 1/4 cup of paint. Spray over your stickers, covering the entire paper. Set your paper aside to dry.
