What is Drill Painting?
Drill painting is a dynamic and hands-on craft activity that combines the power of a drill with the artistry of painting. By attaching a kids' paintbrush to the end of a drill, dipping it in paint, and spinning it rapidly, children can create mesmerising patterns and designs on paper.
Safety First: Adult Supervision is a Must!
Before engaging in drill painting, it's crucial to prioritise safety. Adult supervision is required at all times to guide and assist children during the activity. Ensure a responsible adult is present to oversee the process and use protective goggles and clothing to prevent any accidental splatters.
How to Set Up Drill Painting: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Gather the materials: You'll need a handheld drill, kids' paint brushes with sturdy handles, non-toxic paints in various colours, and a large sheet of paper or canvas.
- Prepare the workspace: Find a well-ventilated area with a protected surface. Lay down newspaper or a drop cloth to catch any splatters.
- Attach the brush to the drill: Insert the paintbrush into the drill chuck and secure it tightly.
- Dip and spin: Dip the brush into the paint, ensuring the bristles are fully coated. Hold the drill firmly and turn it on, allowing the brush to spin and create unique patterns as it touches the paper.
