<\/div>\nThe Groundhog Watercolor Painting is a great addition to the groundhog activities<\/a> and the cookie cutter crafts<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n Painting with a cookie cutter is an easy craft for kids to do. This gives a template, and the results are loads of fun.<\/p>\n Groundhog watercolor painting is painting inside Groundhog cookie cutters with watercolor paints. It is a fun painting and fine motor activity for kids.<\/p>\n The Groundhogs in this painting and done with browns, grays and blacks for shadows on the page.<\/p>\n This is a fun twist on the Groundhog Shadow Painting<\/a> we did.<\/p>\n We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity.

You can learn all about the history for the groundhog and how the traditions have been passed down.<\/p>\n You can find more groundhog day books<\/a> here.<\/p>\n You can see the steps below that we used to make the Groundhog watercolor painting.<\/p>\n You place the groundhog cookie cutter<\/a> on the watercolor paper. It does not matter where they start painting the groundhog.<\/p>\n You want to hold the cookie cutter in place while you paint. You can hold the cookie cutter on the outside or on the top of the cookie cutter.<\/p>\n After you decide how you want to hold the cookie cutter, you then paint inside the cookie cutter with the watercolor paints. You can use any of the dark colors you want to use.<\/p>\n You can lift up the groundhog cookie cutter<\/a> and see the shape of the groundhog. It is fun to see after you get done painting.<\/p>\n The fun part about this type of painting is that different ages can do the painting and each will be different even with the same cookie cutter shape.<\/p>\n After you have one groundhog painting you paint another. You just move the cookie cutter to another part of the paper and keep painting.<\/p>\n You can have the groundhogs over lap. You can keep them all separate while they are painting.<\/p>\n It does not matter how they paint the groundhog each one will be different. And that is totally okay and even fun for kids.<\/p>\n And remember this is their painting and they can paint three groundhogs and that will be okay. It is even fine if they only paint one.<\/p>\n The idea is to have fun painting and not to have kids upset by having to do more.<\/p>\n Groundhog Weekly No-Prep Packs <\/a>has weekly packs with a winter theme.
