First off we have pencil paintings. These are time consuming, but easy. Maybe for a little older of a crowd as it takes the knowledge that you can't rest your arm on the wet paint on the canvas.
What you need:
Canvas or painting paper
Paint - I used acrylic
Pencil with intact and full eraser
Scrap paper (to make the design you want)- optional
Tape (you only need this if you are making a design)
Paper towel
What you do:
1) Cut out the design you want with the scrap paper and tape it in place on the canvas or paint paper (make sure you use tape that will easily come up). You could also just do a freeform design.
2) Spread the paint out (you only need a little) and dip the tip of the pencil into the paint.
3) Press down to form circles. Each dip in the paint can make anywhere from 3-7 circles depending on how faded you allow them to get.
4) In between colors wipe pencil with a paper towel.
5) Keep working until whole page is finished.
6) Let dry.
Next we have shell painting. This project is perfect for after a trip to the beach when you have a bunch of shells, but don't really know what to do with them. When you are finished putting the colorful shells into a mason jar on a table or in a basket would be cool and a fun way to decorate.
What you need:
Shells/shell pieces
Nail polish or acrylic paint
Paint brush (if using nail polish the nail polish brush is fine)
Paper
What you do:
1) Lay out paper as a work surface.
2) Paint shells on one side and let dry.
3) Paint shells on other side and let dry.
4) Either do a second coat or a design.
5) Let dry completely.
