Cut out the outline of the boat and attach it to a separate white sheet of paper with small pieces of tape below.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Paint-Resist-Set-up-for-Toy-Boat-Art-Project-.jpg\" alt=\"Paint Resist Set up for Toy Boat Art Project\" class=\"wp-image-22329\" style=\"width:599px;height:414px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Paint-Resist-Set-up-for-Toy-Boat-Art-Project-.jpg 650w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Paint-Resist-Set-up-for-Toy-Boat-Art-Project--600x415.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Paint-Resist-Set-up-for-Toy-Boat-Art-Project--300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>3. Place paint onto the paint tray. &nbsp;The goal is to create different shades of blue and blue green for the ocean colors. &nbsp;Create different shades of very light blue for the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Have your child start with the yellow paint to create the sun in the sky by placing the cotton swab&nbsp;into the paint and dabbing it onto the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Now move onto where you want the ocean and skyline to meet, around where you&#8217;ve taped the toy boat. &nbsp;Start with the darker blues and blue greens to create the ocean and waves.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Toy-Boat-Dot-Painting.jpg\" alt=\"Toy Boat Dot Painting\" class=\"wp-image-22330\" style=\"width:601px;height:416px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Toy-Boat-Dot-Painting.jpg 650w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Toy-Boat-Dot-Painting-600x415.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Toy-Boat-Dot-Painting-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>6. Next once the ocean is complete move to the sky and use a very light blue to create it. &nbsp;Just dab the cotton swabs into white paint mixed with blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. Now that you&#8217;ve made the ocean, waves and sky you can create your clouds! &nbsp;Use just white paint and a cotton ball to create a few clouds in the sky above the toy boat and ocean waves. &nbsp;Allow to dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. Once all of the paint is dry it&#8217;s time to reveal your paint resist toy boat by removing the sailboat that you taped onto the paper at the beginning. &nbsp;Carefully pealing it away you&#8217;ll see that after all of the dabbing with the cotton swab of blues you&#8217;ve created a beautiful outline of the toy boat using a technique called paint resist.<\/p>\n\n\n<div
