How We Made the Circle Watercolor Cookie Cutter Painting

You can see the steps below we used to make the cookie cutter circle paintings.

Holding the Cookie Cutter

You want to hold onto the top or the sides of the cookie cutter. You can do what works best for the age that you are doing this activity with.

This is a great way to work on fine motor skills while holding the cookie cutter.

Paint inside the Cookie Cutter

After you are holding the cookie cutter on the side or top, you then paint inside the cookie cutter. You want to work to make sure the cookie cutter does not move.

But if it does the world does not end.

Look at the Circle We Painted

After you paint the inside the circle you lift up the cookie cutter and see the circle on the paper.

We used two different types of circle cookie cutters so one might have rough edges and one smooth. It adds to the picture. But still make fun circles on the paper.

Paint More Circles

Then go on and paint more circles. You can have kids pick different colors and sizes of cookie cutters as well.

You can overlap the circles and put them all over the paper. You can even have some that are part on the paper and part off the paper. And it is fun to see the painting come alive with the colors and circles.
