While many people might prefer an old-fashioned paint brush, why not try painting with one of these items:
- cotton swabs
- feather
- fingers
- marbles
- spray bottle
- straw
- toothbrushes
And, while a painting made using watercolors or oil paints would suit many tastes, you are sure to raise a few eyebrows if you use one or more of these suggestions:
- egg yolk
- food coloring
- kool aid
- milk
- pudding
- shaving cream
- water
- Shoe Polish (suggested by Paul)
The fun thing about painting is that you can use just about anything! The ideas above will get you started; can you think of any other items you can make paint with?
Here are some of the painting ideas I have posted so far. You can also find all these ideas and more on this page.
