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.
