Beware … we’re in for a scare.
We might even get tricks or treats (or both!) stuck in our hair.
Just kidding! But kids can still imagine how that might look and turn it into art to decorate for the spooky season.
This art activity is recommended for kids aged 7 and up, although younger kids could do it with some adult help.
The paint we’ve used for the blow art is diluted washable paint. It’s same as what’s been used in this Fall tree blow art activity. You can also do blow art as its own process art activty too—this would be a good option for preschoolers.
If you prefer, liquid watercolour paint (affiliate link) would also work straight from the bottle. It would give you vivid, bright colours with no dilution necessary.
Are you ready to get started?
How to Create Halloween Crazy Hair Art
You Will Need
- White paper or card stock
- A sheet of art paper – the example uses US Letter size paper, but a larger sheet (such as A3) would also work and give more space for the hair
- Washable Paint
- Containers or disposable cups
- Pipettes – like these (affiliate link), or a thick paintbrush
- Straw
- Optional Art Tray (affiliate link) to contain mess when working with liquid paint – alternatively, place a plastic tablecloth or newspaper under your project
- Colouring pencils or markers
- Scissors
- Glue Stick
- The Halloween Crazy Hair template. Enter your details in the form below and it will be emailed to you
How To:
Print the Halloween Crazy Hair template out.
Set up the blow art painting. Fill cups ¼ of the way with equal parts washable paint and water. You may need to use more or less water depending on the consistency of your paint. The liquid version needs to be runny enough to be blown with a straw.
Use a pipette to place a droplet of paint where your character’s hairline will start (Approximately 12cm or 4.7″ from the base of your art paper).
Blow the paint towards the top of the page using a straw.
Repeat with more colours.
Allow the paint to dry.
Colour the template. Use as many or as few of the “Trick or Treat” decorations as you like.
Cut the shapes out and glue them on using a glue stick.
So fun for Halloween!
