FUN FINGER PAINT TECHNIQUES
Waves, Wiggles, and Prints: Make strokes, waves, wiggles, finger and thumb prints, and other marks with different parts of the hand and arm.
Symmetrical Designs: Paint on one half of a piece of paper then fold it closed and smooth down with hands. Unfold and there will be a mirror image of the design on the other side.
Texture With Tools: Use combs, stiff paint brushes, sponges, sticks, dry fir branches, and cotton swabs on the finger-painted surface.
Etching: Scratch away designs in the wet paint with your fingertips.
Dot Paintings: Make paintings completely out of dots. Use different colors next to each other so that they mix visually.
Animals: You can create animals from finger paint. Paint the body of a turkey or peacock. Then press your entire finger into the finger paint and make ""feathers"" around the turkey's or peacock's body.
