There are special toys for making spin art, or you could even use a salad spinner, but it turns out that a paper plate, paper, and paint are all you need.

Pour some paint onto the BACK of a paper plate. Two or three colours work best, but try experimenting! We use acrylic paint – I think something thicker is what you want for this project.Paper Plate Spin Art - a fun painting activity for kids!

Flip the plate over onto some paper, and twist the plate around. The plates don’t have to spin all the way around – just a swivel action back and forth will create some interesting prints.
