Fun and Easy Painted Pasta Flower Art Craft for Kids
Supplies Needed For This Flower Art Craft for Kids:
- Pasta Noodles (Use what you have. Any type of noodle will be fine!)
- Paint
- Paintbrush
- Glue (If you are using a heavier noodle, you might need hot glue or rubber cement)
- White Construction Paper
How To Make Kids Pasta Flower Art Craft:
This Pasta Art Tutorial provides step by step directions below.
Grab all your supplies and head to a table (probably near a sink because you will more than likely need to rinse paint off of your hands/your children’s hands during the craft). Start by painting the stems of your flowers. You child can use a paintbrush or just go with the finger painting idea! Mine chose the latter. Once your child has painted the stems, set that paper aside to dry. Grab some pasta noodles, place them on a paper towel or separate piece of construction paper and start painting.
Your child is the artist here! They can paint them all the same color or tie die or even all different colors! So many options to let their creativity shine. Once your noodles are painted, they’ll need a few minutes to dry. We went back and chose the very first ones that were painted because they had the longest to sit there and dry. Start gluing your noodles and placing them at the top of the stem. The painted noodles are the petals of your flower.
Once your child is done gluing the pasta petals on their art craft, let the glue dry before picking up the flower art craft sheet!
Has your child ever done a craft using pasta before? This fun and colorful flower art craft for kids is sure to be a hit with your littles ones. Give this a try the next time your child is wanting to do a craft!
