    Cotton Ball Holi Painting

    Try this colorful cotton ball painting activity with your kids to celebrate the Festival of Colors!

    This is one of the Holi activities that we really enjoyed. This is also the first time Niko did a cotton ball painting using droppers.

    The doll shapes were cut out from paper and covered with transparent packing tape to avoid getting wet from the activity.

    If you are doing this activity with small kids, these spill-proof cups are highly recommended to avoid spilling the colored water.

    Let’s set up this cotton ball painting activity:

    Materials needed:

    • Food coloring
    • Water
    • Cotton balls
    • Droppers
    • White cardstock paper
    • Colored paper for the hair; yellow, pink and purple
    • Transparent packing tape
    • Glue gun and stick
    • Googly eyes
    • Foam heart cutouts
    • Spill-proof cups
    • Cricut (optional) or scissors

    Instructions:

    • Cut out the dolls from the white cardtstock paper using your Cricut, or you can draw and cut them with scissors.
    • Cut the hair from different colored papers.
    • Attach the hair to the paper doll using hot glue.
    • Cover the whole hair and body with transparent packing tape.
    • Spread the cotton balls and attach to the doll’s body.
    • Decorate the hair with the foam heart cutout.
    • Attach the googly eyes.
    • Do this to the rest of the dolls.
    • Fill the spill-proof cup with water and add food coloring. Do this to the rest of the colors.
    • Place the droppers on each cup.

    How to play:

    Let your kids paint the cotton balls using droppers.

    Hope you enjoyed our activity today!

    My name is Dove. I live in an enchanted forest at the end of a rainbow. I have a little window in my room where I can see unicorns playing in the grass field at day and magical fairies dancing under the silvery moon at night. I love creating things with my kids and adding a touch of magic to their playtime.
