Two-Ingredient Pig Painting Craft that Builds Fine Motor Skills

Inside: This pig painting craft only uses two ingredients and strengthens fine motor skills by using cotton balls and clothespins. A fun addition to the toddler and preschool farm theme, and comes with a free printable!

Have your toddlers and preschoolers painted with clothespins and cotton balls yet? This is one of our favorite ways to strengthen fine motor skills, especially when using two-ingredient puffy paint.

By thickening the paint with shaving cream, the hands need work harder as they move the cotton ball through the paint and then onto the paper.

While this activity is all about the process, we’ve provided a free pig printable that works great during the farm theme.

Then, squirt some paint into a container along with a squirt of shaving cream.

Attach a cotton ball to each clothespin.

After reading some fun farm books, tell the children that they will be painting a pig pink.

Show them how the cotton ball is attached to the clothespin, and that they can dip it into the puffy paint and then onto the pig paper.
