Finger painting a snail is a really simple art activity. Focus with your kids on making a good circle, and show them how mixing two primary colors makes a different secondary color.
After you paint one, do another using different colors. Have your kids also make them different sizes, see if they can make a really small one.
Chuckers enjoyed this art activity even though it was very simple. He thought the snail was funny looking. You could also add other things to this snail to make him even crazier.
Finger Painting A Snail Focus:
- Making a good circle.
- Mixing primary colors to make a secondary color.
- Bigger and smaller sizes.

Prescious! I have to say, I like the fingers! I’m going to change my military kids to using the fingers more, esp when creating their secondary colors and introducing them to only one secondary at a time is GREAT! Thank you for your patience and generosity. (Oh, and I think maybe you compliment your son’s work more than your daughter’s- but maybe not!) haha!

QUestion- What kind of paints are you using to do the fingerpainting?

Hey Deb! Thanks for asking, we use acrylic paint. I like it because it’s easy to wash off your hands, and pretty easy to wash off counters and bowls. When it dries it peels off most smooth surfaces. It also dries fairly quick, perfect for kid art.
There are a bunch of other options though, I think crayola makes a good paint specifically for finger painting (we are planning to pick some up, to try out!) we’ll do a review on it soon ;)
Hope this helps! And thanks very much for taking the time to leave a comment!
