10 Cotton Ball Art Projects For Kids

August 11, 2021 by Shellie Wilson

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.

I’m The Bomb Bath Bomb Maker T-Shirt Review – A Fun Gift For Bath Bomb Makers

The I’m The Bomb T-shirt is a cheeky little wearable wink for anyone who makes bath bombs, sells handmade bath products, or spends far too much time happily covered in baking soda, citric acid, fragrance oil, and mica.

Some craft T-shirts are cute. Some are practical. And then there are the ones that feel like they were designed for the maker who is already elbow-deep in bath bomb mixture and somehow still thinking, “Maybe I should make just one more batch.”

The I’m The Bomb Bath Bomb Maker T-shirt is exactly that kind of shirt.

This design is fun, bold, and a little bit sassy, with pink statement lettering that says “I’m The Bomb!” followed by the playful line, “Bath bomb maker that is. Ask me how to make your bath explode and fizz.” It is silly in the best way, and honestly, if you make bath bombs, you know this sort of humour lands perfectly.

What I like about this shirt is that it works especially well for people who make and sell bath bombs at markets, craft fairs, school stalls, Etsy shops, or handmade business events. It is not just a cute tee — it is also a conversation starter. Wear it behind your market table and you are practically inviting people to ask about your products, your ingredients, your scents, and whether your bath bombs really fizz like magic.

And we all know once someone starts talking about fragrance blends and colour embeds, the bath bomb maker is off and running.

The white shirt keeps the design clean and easy to read, while the pink lettering gives it that bright bath-and-body vibe. It would suit soap makers, bath bomb makers, handmade skincare sellers, spa gift creators, and DIY bath product lovers who enjoy a bit of maker humour.

This would also be a fun gift for someone starting a handmade bath bomb business. Pair it with a stainless-steel bath bomb mold, mica colours, citric acid, baking soda, fragrance oils, or packaging supplies and you have a really useful gift bundle for a bath and body crafter. Amazon is handy for basic bath bomb tools and supplies, especially if you are putting together a beginner kit or maker gift basket.

For readers who want to actually make bath bombs, this shirt naturally pairs with CraftGossip’s bath and body tutorials, including ideas like DIY Halloween bath bombs and other fizzy bath treats that are perfect for gifts, markets, and seasonal makes.

This T-shirt is best for the maker who enjoys standing out a little. It is cheerful, cheeky, and very much aimed at the bath bomb crowd — the people who know the difference between a good fizz and a sad little sinker, and who have probably stained a mixing bowl pink at least once.

Best for: bath bomb makers, soap makers, handmade bath product sellers, craft market stallholders, DIY bath and body fans, and handmade business owners.

Why we like it: it is fun, memorable, and makes a great conversation starter for anyone selling or gifting bath bombs.

Where to wear it: craft markets, handmade fairs, soap-making days, bath bomb workshops, Etsy packing days, or while making a gloriously messy batch of fizzy bath treats.
