Do you guys remember how cool and trendy sponge painted things used to be? I remember sponge painting walls and decor with my mom when I was in middle school. We had entire rooms in our home with multi-colored sponge painted walls. I’m not sure who started this trend and why it became so popular. Whose idea was it dip a sponge in paint in the first place? While most of the sponge painted walls in the world are probably painted over, sponges are still going strong from crafty purposes! I love using old sponges with kids to paint. They add texture without needing the artist to be precise. This full moon craft is the perfect example of how using a sponge to add a little paint at the end makes all the difference. It adds just enough texture to make your yellow circle transform into a full moon! Add some black silhouette popsicle stick puppets to turn this craft into an interactive and imaginative activity! Kids will love making their Halloween silhouette creatures “fly” across the full moon.
This post is so fun because you can switch out the shapes that you choose to make. A witch, ghost or owl would also be great options. You could make a few different paper plate moons and let kids have fun putting on a play with their little popsicle stick silhouette puppets!
