Have you ever done salt paintings with your kids? This Easter salt art painting kids activity is such an easy and fun art project that even older kids will enjoy! Salt painting is such a great activity and can be done anytime of the year. The best part is you most likely already have the supplies on hand. We’ve created some easy, traceable Easter bunny and egg prints to help you celebrate Easter. Keep reading to see how easy it is to do this fun Easter salt art painting activity with your own kids.
*UPDATE: In order to maintain this little blog and offer more printables in the future, we had to make the tough decision to start charging a small fee for some of our printables. We no longer offer the Easter salt art painting pages and Easter coloring pages for free, but you can find them for a really low cost in our Etsy shop. We appreciate your understanding and hope we can continue creating printables to help families and individuals celebrate all of life’s seasons.
These pages would also make great Easter coloring pages! So print a bunch so the kids can use different mediums to color the bunnies and eggs. But trust us, you’ll be addicted to turning all your coloring pages into salt art. It’s magical watching the paint absorb into the salt.
Here are the supplies you need for salt art:
This Easter art project is so easy to do. Print the pages and outline the images with glue (this is great for hand eye coordination). Srinkle enough salt on the coloring pages to cover the glue and then dump the excess. Now the kids are ready to paint! We use watered down paints since you don’t want thick paint for this activity. Simply touch the brush to the salt and watch it absorb the colors. The kids will be mesmerized with this Easter art activity!
We’re not gonna lie, we prefer salt painting eggs to the traditional Easter egg dying. It’s less mess and more satisfying. We did this for a good hour as the older kids started making their own designs. These crafts don’t last forever; the colors only stay a few days and then fade/disappear but because it’s such an inexpensive and fast activity, we do them all the time!
