Simple & Fun Winter Foil Art For Toddlers
We have been doing some type of foil art activity for the past few weeks. My kids absolutely love it, and so do I. It is one of the easiest activities to set up, minus printing the coloring pages.
I love doing theme based arts and crafts with my kids. We did a few for the fall, and now that we are moving into winter, it is only fitting to try this fun winter foil art activity for toddlers.
Everything You Need For This Activity
I try to create simple activities that use things we already have at home, and this activity is no different. Here is a list of everything you need. I will include Amazon links in case you do not have some of the materials on hand.
- Foil, Large Sheets
- Markers
- Winter Coloring Pages, I use canva to create simple color sheets for my kids. I have Canva Pro, but I’m sure you could use the FREE version also.
Finding Winter Themed Coloring Sheets For Free
I use Canva for pretty much everything, so I usually check what they have in terms of premade coloring pages or clipart that I can use to create my own pages.
I have the pro version, but I am sure you can still find some great premade coloring sheets with the free version. You can also search FREE winter coloring pages on Google.
There were so many options to choose from, but I ended up printing a tree, snowflakes, a snowman, reindeer, a gingerbread man, and a few others.
Setting This Activity Up
This activity is definitely simple, but I always like to spend a few extra minutes prepping the area for easier cleanup once the kids are done.
I used my kids sensory table as the surface for this activity. Then I used tape to secure the corners of the foil and made sure the entire table was fully covered. I did not want to scrub marker off the table when they were finished.
Instructions For Setting Up This Winter Foil Art For Toddlers Activity
- Decide whether you want to do the activity on the floor or at a table. I used my kids activity table for this setup.
- Place the aluminum sheets over the area you want to cover and secure the corners and edges with tape.
- Add a basket of markers and a spray bottle.
- Place the coloring pages nearby.
- I recommend demonstrating the activity first. You want to make sure your kids understand the steps for creating the art.
How To Transfer The Colors
- Choose the color you want to use and scribble that color over a section of the foil.
- Grab your spray bottle and mist a thin layer of water over the colored area.
- Place your coloring page on top of the wet color with the design facing down.
- Gently press, lift, and hang it up to dry.
That is it. Enjoy creating more fun winter foil art.
