A Selection of Rollers for Kids


Roller Painting provides the opportunity for expressive activities through the use of paint rollers. Children can create designs in a quick and easy way. It is also a great way to introduce children to textured materials.





You will need:

: Tempera poster paint. Not too many colours 1-3 is fine.
: Foam rollers, small are better.  Kids size are available.
: Paint in shallow paint trays – need to be able to roll the roller in these.
: Paper A3 is a ideal
: Apron and a cover sheet or newspapers – plus paper towels – for clean-up.

Let’s get started:

Prepare the work area with coversheets and put on the aprons.  A flat surface is better that an easel.

Try to have a clean roller for each colour.  Also try to have the children return the rollers to the correct colours. You will end up with cleaner colours to your artwork.

Pour paint in to the trays.  One colour per tray.

Dip the roller into the tempera paint and spread the paint in a rolling movement.

The key is to have fun mixing colours and making shapes.


TIPS:  
-          Add glitter for special effects to the wet paint.
-          You can roll a blue sky, green grass and come back later to paint people or a house.

-          Sometimes it is a good idea to have a sheet of blank paper for starting off the rollers. This makes sure the complete roller surface is covered in colour.

It is hard to make mistakes in face painting. It’s all about having fun! You will need a jar of water, clean sponge or brush and paper towels. For more complex designs try doing sketch first or make a stencil out of plastic or card. Try to paint thinly as the skin is a flexible surface, thick and heavy coatings may crack. Place an old towel or paper towels around the shoulders. Have your model relax their face - no squinting. HAVE FUN! Using Face Paint Colours: If you do not have all the colours you need, try mixing the colours together to make a new colour. Mix on the back of your hand or in a saucer. See the mix and match colour guide below. Painting Details: Narrow thin brush Paint your details with a thinner brush. Make sure you wash your brush between colours or have a brush for each colour. Paint carefully around eyes and never go too close with your brush. Try cotton buds/swabs for easy control. Using Sponges: for backgrounds. Sponge...
