Pineapple Craft for Toddlers: How to Paint a Pineapple Using Corks
Supplies:
- A wine cork (it’s best to use one you already have)
- 2 shades of yellow paint
- Green paint
- A paper plate
- A Sheet of paper
Pineapple Painting for Kids Directions:
The first thing you’re going to do is pour a quarter size drop of each color of paint on a paper plate. It’s important to keep the colors separated so they don’t accidentally mix.
Offer your child a cork and a sheet of paper.
Begin by outlining the shape of a pineapple in the darker shade of yellow paint, forming the sides by stamping the cork on the paper. You can either do this for your child or use a pencil to draw the outline and have your child stamp along the outline.
Next, fill in the center of the pineapple by stamping the cork with the lighter shade of yellow.
Finally, it’s time to add the stem of the pineapple by stamping the green paint.
When your masterpiece is complete set it aside to dry. When it’s completely dry, hang it up on the fridge or where ever you like to hang art.
