Painting Activity Booklet

Before jumping into some ideas, do you want to skip all the planning? If so, use this Activity Booklet which will teach the girls about different art periods, while having fun playing a game, they will have fun with painting with pipe cleaners, bubble wrap, plungers and their hands. The girls will take a crack at painting something from the real world, and working as a group putting together a large mural to be used in a place of the girls choosing.

Paint By Number

The best part of paint by number is that as long as you can recognize numbers anyone can do it and enjoy it. It is like an activity for 5 – 99 year olds for sure. There are a number of different kind of paint by number sets available you can do with your troop. If you get a large enough canvas you can do the activity together.

I got a really cool tiger from Paint By Number Online and then multiple people can work on different areas of painting you could probably have 4 people working together on this. Of course if you get a smaller one everyone can do their own. It could be a great activity at the beginning of a meeting while you are waiting for everyone to arrive. Then it’s something you can do every meeting till the painting is completed. This would make a great gift to give to someone or if girls did separately maybe decoration fro their home, just get a frame and showcase on wall.

If you get yours from Paint By Number Online you will have everything you need to get started. It will have numbered acrylic-based paint set, the pre-printed numbered canvas, 1 paint brush set, and easy to follow instructions.

Plunger Painting

This one you can go to dollar tree and buy the cheap $1 plungers, and you can use Tempra washable paint and a large canvas. The girls can take turns adding colors to the canvas using the plungers. I would suggest you have 4 different plungers/colors we had 6 and it was way to many got messy and painting almost turned brown. We did a huge poster board paper and when we were done hung it on wall at meeting space.

Firework Paint

Take 4 pipe cleaners fold in half then twist the bottom portion to create the handle. Then fan out the pipe cleaners to create the star shape. Tell girls to dip pipe cleaner into paint and stamp away. Stamp in same spot, After lifting pipe cleaner up turn it a little and stamp again. Repeat process with new color. (Suggestion: RED, WHITE, BLUE)

Bubble Wrap STOMP Painting

Using bubble wrap around each foot and a large poster-board for each girl give each girl two different color paints one for each foot and let them stomp their poster-board with design they like. It is messy but they will love it!

Hand Print Reindeer and Fingerprint Christmas tree

Grab the green colors and brown color paints and let the girls have some fun with finger painting. Let them be creative if they want to make something other than the reindeer or christmas tree.
