10 Cotton Ball Art Projects For Kids

Who needs paintbrushes when you have cotton balls. I love these cotton ball art projects for a few different reasons, first I love that kids get to use something that is outside the box when it comes to painting. It teaches them that sometimes things have a different purpose and also that we can achieve things without conforming to the normalities, such as using a paintbrush.

Of course, there are the whole fine motor skills that comes into play also, grasping a cotton ball is harder than a paintbrush. However, the thing I love most about art with cotton balls, is you do not need to wash out all the brushes! You can either throw them away or dry them out in the sun, pack them away and use them for another day when you need some colored texture to a collage or drawing.

You really only need some cotton balls and paint to pull of these 10 projects, you could even use water on the concrete if you don’t have any paint. My favorite paint for kids activities is Crayola water-based paint. It is easy to clean up and readily available.

While no one would likely use a knit backpack for school, knitting a backpack is a fun way to show off your knitting skills and carry around your project or everyday essentials instead of using a purse. Check out these cute backpack knitting patterns and stitch one up for your next project.

I couldn’t resist sharing this adorable bunny backpack (you can also make it without the ears) that is made on a circular knitting machine. This pattern is from Orange Olive Road and you can use a 46 or 48 needle machine for the bag but will also need a 22 needle machine if you opt for the bunny version.

If you prefer knitting by hand, check out the bucket bag pattern from WoolFans Knitting. This one calls for super bulky yarn in two or three colors (you could make it all in one color, too, if you’d rather) and it looks like the base is knit flat and then the sides are worked in the round.

You know I love a stashbuster, and that’s what you get with the Whidbey Bag from Wool and Pine Designs. This one calls for DK weight yarn for the body of the bag, which is actually worked in a single color from the top down. The colorful bits are woven in after the knitting is done, allowing you to use up all sorts of odd balls quickly.

Adding hardware to a knit bag makes it look that much more interesting, and the combination of leather accents and a sari silk yarn makes Le Backpack from Vanrey Knits a lot of fun. This pattern is on Ravelry and uses a super bulky yarn and seed stitch for a ton of texture.

Mama in a Stitch has a great free pattern for a little backpack with a flap closure. This one is worked in worsted weight cotton yarn with two strands held together for extra stability. It starts with a flat base with the body worked in the round and a knit flap and I-cord straps.
