Salad Spinner Paint Art Activity

Salad Spinner Paint Art: I had seen the idea on Pinterest and had been wanting to give it a try. We finally did, and it was so much fun!

To prep this activity, I cut out the centers of a handful of paper plates – but any thick paper or cardstock type material would work well, too!

[{"selector":"#anim-62d190b0-41df-425a-bda0-8451c329303e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-352e8f22-2c66-4bee-9b65-48d9d177d7fd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9e09d7da-1e0f-485a-bea9-2f8fa637f55f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn More

My kids were so excited when I told them we were going to put paint on the plates, drop them down in the salad spinner, and SPIN, SPIN, SPIN to create fun designs with our paint.

[{"selector":"#anim-ece9763e-a616-4ff0-a8e3-ea102c5c590d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7bdecaa0-3df2-4fe2-b43c-349ec607c52a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0339b08e-84b0-4919-bbb0-cda2adf91f50","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(99.72603%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7341676b-c36b-4b56-b23d-f38ca7f22063","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-23d72d77-24fa-4bb3-86c5-40a0429fe8c8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn More

After each kiddo had taken a turn, Daddy showed them how they could use a toothpick to create a bit of a design in the paint BEFORE placing their plate in the salad spinner.

[{"selector":"#anim-11193996-c6d0-4084-8208-4b92207e39ca","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6175fba8-c114-4172-80bb-d54fb0739a48","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2bb84c10-e346-4871-9a12-e315e448d01b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(98.63014%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-781ab34a-453f-4589-a852-0a806964413d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-78a7bffd-b7f9-41c7-9acf-e4dd43c36815","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.3522%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn More

Using the toothpick to thin out blobs of paint seemed to be a great technique to use with this activity.

Then we used some of our extra supplies to paint leaves, acorns, and a few other items we had found on a recent Nature Walk.

We might even toss wooden or clay ornaments down in the salad spinner and “paint” them using this fun idea!
