Preschool Painting Ideas : 25 Ways To Paint Without A Paintbrush

I know I have a TON of crafts on No Time For Flash Cards but believe it or not in my preschool classrooms most of our art time is spent doing simple process art. These are my favorite preschool painting ideas. One of the things I love doing the very most with preschoolers is to paint with novel tools. I have incorporated this into many craft projects over the years here on No Time For Flash Cards, but in a classroom, the process is the focus. Here are 25 unique preschool painting ideas that use tools to paint without a paintbrush. These tools are what makes painting extra fun and teaches our children to think creatively too. Get some ideas with this list or click on each tool’s link to see how we have used these tools for our own creative projects!
