DIY Cardboard Paint Pallet Project for Kids

DIY Cardboard Paint Pallets are so much fun to make and and I am really obsessed with finding ways to reuse the cardboard that comes into this house, and what better way then to make paint pallets for the kids, with the bottom section of a Kraft Dinner storage box? We buy a box of KD often, and the bottom of this box is the perfect size!

DIY Cardboard Paint Pallet Project

🎨Let’s get started:

1. TRACE. Using a pencil, trace an existing pallet you already have around the bottom grip curve of the pallet, and thumb hole.

2. CUT. Using a cutting tool of choice, cut along your pencil line.

3. PAINT. Store with your acrylic paints in your art room in a caddy, or basket. I will show more of how I store them soon.

If you make these, please tag @build_your_masterpiece_class, with your DIY Cardboard Paint Pallets, and any masterpieces your kids make using them!

I know these will pair up so great with our new Picasso Study, with the Adventures in France, that has just been released in our shop this week! Yay! Now you can complete our Level 1 Series of #readpaintcook Adventures in France!

I have already begun to pair them up with our Kandinsky Study in our Russia Adventures, and our Kinder+ Art Basics Program: The Masterpiece Alphabet with our 7 year old. Here below is his beautiful work using the DIY Cardboard Paint Pallets, listening to music, and us reading books about Kandinsky.

Speaking of pairing up, I have some exciting news of what's to come next week!
