Description
This Juneteenth Art activity provides hours of fun and helps develop fine-motor skills.
Kids of all ages LOVE Poke Art.
You can also use these Juneteenth worksheets to teach basic embroidery and for cotton swab painting. This makes push pin poke art a great activity for ALL your children!
Just like throughout history, you can use the patterns to create artwork by poking them then coloring them yourself with crayons, colored pencils, or watercolors. The sky is the limit and this art activity is not limited to the smallest child.
Happy Hive Homeschooling poke art patterns come in BOTH black and white and color for stunning effects.
Suggested poking tools include:
-
Jumbo Push Pins
-
Embroidery needles secured to pencils to make a “tool”
-
toothpicks
-
golf tees (although these can make large holes)
-
clayworking tools
-
a long nail (also prone to larger holes)
-
straight pins secured to a pencil (make the smallest holes and can be STUNNING)
You can print and poke directly on cardstock, or you can double up and poke through two layers. However you decide to complete the project, it is best to have a soft surface behind your paper.
Suggested soft surfaces include:
-
Cork Board
-
Foam Mat
-
Cardboard (2 layers)
-
A folded towel
-
A large mouse pad
These take quite a bit of time and effort on your child’s part, so be sure to hang them in a window so you can get the full effect. Painted and sewn pictures can be framed and given as gifts or used as decorations for years to come.
