Finger painting is always fun!* Kids have permission to cover their hands with paint and slip, slide their fingers through gooey color. Finger paint is the epitome of sensory art and, for young children especially, sensory art is important for development and even helps them learn.
We recently tried a newly-developed kind of finger paint from Discount School Supply called Sensory Sand Finger Paint. It added a whole new layer of sensory fun to the activity!
Discount School Supply sent us a set of the paints to try out and review along with some finger paint paper and a big ole plastic finger paint tray
.
Note :: They no longer carry the sensory sand finger paint or the tray (bummer!), but we often use and love their regular finger paint. It’s the best finger paint out there for kids. And if you like the idea of a tray, you can use a baking sheet or an art mat. Or buy one of these finger paint paper and tray sets.
The finger paints feel as slippery and finger paint-y as any finger paints, but they are also slightly gritty. It sounds like a funny combination, but the kids liked it, and it worked really well. The sand element is very fine—not coarse at all—but you can definitely feel it.
Here’s what we did with our finger paints
Squish, squeeze it…
Swirl and rub it around…
Draw and write in it with a finger…
Mix colors…
Make monoprints…
Drum, drum, drum with it…
Play back and forth with it…
And draw in it with all ten fingers at once…
Using a Finger Painting Tray
We started out using the finger paint paper in the tray, but about half way through the kids switched to painting directly on the tray.
It was the perfect finger painting situation! The paper was okay, but it kind of got in the way of a full-on sensory finger painting extravaganza. It bunched up a little and you had to be a bit more careful.
Painting directly on the tray was freeing.
I generally like to keep things basic and don’t usually go in for “extras,” but boy, I have to say I like that finger paint tray.
We’ve painted directly on the tabletop plenty of times, but it felt different with this tray. It’s extra smooth for one thing. It’s plenty big enough, but the space is defined. And I really liked knowing that I could take it outside and spray it down with a hose when the kids were finished painting. (If it were winter or I lived in an apartment, I’d probably wash it in the shower or maybe the sink.)
Again, the tray we used is no longer available, but you can use a baking dish or art mat or buy one of these finger paint paper and tray combos.
The Finger Paint Art
It is nice to have a painting on paper to display, though. Here’s one of the dried paintings. You can make prints from the paint in the tray (and we did lots of that!) but they have a very different look than the the finger painting that was done directly on paper.
Here’s a close up of one of the dried paintings so you can see (barely) the grain of the sand from the sensory sand paints.
Again, Discount School Supply no longer sells the Sensory Sand Finger Paint but their regular Colorations-brand Finger Paints are excellent. They also have glitter finger paints which look fun and sparkly.
*Note :: There are some children who don’t like the sensory stimulation of finger painting (or other messy art projects). It is more commonly a phase that a child goes through but it can also be a more ongoing preference. (And, occasionally, it can be the result of a sensory processing disorder.) If the child doesn’t want to touch the finger paint, you can let him paint with a tool (a brush or chopstick, for example) or put some paint in a plastic bag and let him squish it around with his hands. Next time, he may be ready use his hands.

July 25, 2012 at 1:01 pmThat looks great I do that with some adult paints as well by adding different types of sand to create texture in my paintings. My kids would be able to experiment with texture in paint too!
MamaBird
July 25, 2012 at 1:01 pmLove the idea of the finger painting tray!
Leah
July 25, 2012 at 1:02 pmSo fun! Love the tray!
Katharyn Sanders
July 25, 2012 at 1:06 pmOh I love this! My 7 kiddos would love this!
Samantha
July 25, 2012 at 1:14 pmWow, would have never thought to let my little man paint on a tray instead of paper. My son would love this idea! He’s also a huge fan of our different sensory play that we do at home, so combining sensory play AND painting? Oh he will be in two year old heaven!! Good luck everyone :)
Lauren
July 25, 2012 at 1:15 pmThis looks so fun! My kids would love this.
Jana N.
July 25, 2012 at 1:15 pmOh, this looks like so much fun for my 8 yr old daughter, as well as the residents of the nursing home I do Activities for!!!
Trish

Rachelle | TinkerLab
July 25, 2012 at 1:20 pmWhat a fun post!! I’m a long-time fan of DSS (thanks to you, I’m sure!) and we’ve never tried these paints. I’m also a fan of simplicity, but the finger paint tray look sooooo useful.
Adrienne Gager
July 25, 2012 at 1:20 pmThis is so cool! My girls–a toddler and a preschooler– would love to get their hands into this! Here’s hoping. :)

Jill Schuman
July 25, 2012 at 1:28 pmThis looks amazing!!! I think the mixture is a brilliant idea! My two kiddos would love to make beautiful creations with this fingerpaint! Thanks so much for sharing all the wonderful ideas!
Karla Dao
July 25, 2012 at 1:28 pmWow, what a great idea. Having 4 yr old twins and a 3 yr old we do arts and crafts everyday and to be honest it’s a lot of paper that the kids want to see on display. This idea of the tray just for them to have fun practicing their letters ect and to add the sand, WOW never thought about that! What a great idea:). Just nice that you can let them go wild with just the tray or place paper in the tray if you choose. Contains the mess, which of course is a plus for me with so many young kids. Thanks for sharing!!
Karah
July 25, 2012 at 1:35 pmThis looks like so much fun! My older two (7 & 5) love to fingerpaint but my youngest who is 16 months hates it. We keep trying though and he is slowly getting used to the idea. He is more of a clean artist lol.
Andie
July 25, 2012 at 1:37 pmSo fun! My tactile girls would love this.

July 25, 2012 at 1:53 pmThese sensory finger paints will be great to use with my son, who has sensory processing disorder. He has come a long way with finger paints already. These will add a new dimension to a fun activity!

Eleasha
July 25, 2012 at 2:53 pmthank you for including the bit about how some kids don’t like finger paint. We tried finger paint a year ago, my older son hated the icky feel (he’s like that) and my younger son, who is very kinestetic, kept licking his hands, FYI: finger paint tastes awful!!! I could not get them cleaned up fast enough. now that the little one is older, I would love to try this. Maybe i will add some sand to the paint I still have and see how it goes. I love the idea of the tray. Im going to spray paint an old cookie sheet glossy white and try that.
Amy
January 5, 2018 at 1:42 pmMy sister-in-law works at a daycare, she said instead of commercial fingerprints they use vanilla pudding with food colouring for the really little ones who still lick their fingers.
Jean Van't Hul
January 6, 2018 at 5:27 amGood idea, Amy. We also make our own edible finger paints (which are less tasty, so the kids aren’t encouraged to eat art supplies).
You can find the recipe here: https://artfulparent.com/2017/11/kids-thanksgiving-garlands.html
Bethany
July 25, 2012 at 2:54 pmIt sometimes takes my toddler a while to warm up to new sensory experiences, but I’d love to try these out with her! The colors look vibrant, too!

July 25, 2012 at 3:47 pmMy daughter (2) is obsessed with both sand AND painting — what a perfect combination!
Amber
July 25, 2012 at 3:49 pmI really like the idea of this. And, I might have to order the tray RIGHT NOW! What a great solution. We do most of our painting on the porch right now and the hose off option is ideal. Thanks!
Cindy
July 25, 2012 at 3:49 pmI love it, my special Ed. Students will love it! I’m always looking for new activities/fine motor skills to have them do.
Cory Mace
July 25, 2012 at 4:03 pmThat tray is AWESOME, and perfect for finger paints. My son would have a blast playing with it!
Karissa
July 25, 2012 at 4:05 pmWe’d really love to try this paint out. We’ve got a whole house of fingerpainting enthusiasts, and this would be a great extension of our ordinary finger paint.
molly
July 25, 2012 at 4:15 pmMy kids would love that tray (oh, and the paint too). They love mixing paint and smearing it around — it almost never stays on the paper, usually ending up all over their arms and the table. (ps. Did the ice and paint thing today. Food coloring worked great.)
Kate
July 25, 2012 at 4:15 pmI’m already starting to think about after school art activities once school resumes in late August. Finger paint would be a perfect start to our stash of projects while unwinding from a long day… THANKS for all the recent giveaways!!!

Heather
July 25, 2012 at 8:22 pmWe like finger painting around here, but it’s been a while since we’ve done it. We usually use shaving cream because it’s so creamy-feeling, but I think my kids would really like the sensation of sand in their paint as well. Thanks for the generous offer… fingers crossed. And now to go fingerpaint with my girls…
Mary A
July 25, 2012 at 8:30 pmThey look like they are having loads of fun. Thanks for the giveaway.
Ruthanne Chapman
July 25, 2012 at 8:42 pmI am a kindergarten teacher and I love the idea of the fingerpaint with the added sensory stimulation of the sand! And the tray would be wonderful to keep the mess at bay!!!
Amanda

ania
July 25, 2012 at 9:19 pmLooks like fun! I wonder if I could do home version of the Sensory Sand Finger Paint?
Starla
July 25, 2012 at 9:23 pmThat just sounds insanely fun! I’d have to get in on that fun along with the kids!

Talia's Travel Blog
July 25, 2012 at 9:45 pmThis looks like fun and we’d love to try it. Also wondering if at some point you can post about how you keep your kids from fingerpainting the walls … we’ve been having issues with it recently, and especially when we have friends over so it’s 3 or more kids.
Nicole
July 25, 2012 at 9:57 pmThis is cool! I am so going to do this with my twin girls! I am sure I will use this in school as well for a lesson plan!

Turkey Mom
July 25, 2012 at 11:32 pmThe colors look super vibrant. My younger one- who prefers the whole body experience would go nuts over this.
Milena
July 25, 2012 at 11:32 pmFinger paint is always fun. And indeed the tray thing seems like a great idea (even if only to contain – just a little – the mess of super-messy-with-paint kids like mine… :)
Maggie
July 25, 2012 at 11:54 pmFun! I love their paint tray–looks like it helps the paint (try) to stay in one place

Agnes
July 26, 2012 at 1:59 amThis is wonderful, Jean! My kids, particularly my 3 yo daughter, loves finger painting. I know she would enjoy this sensory art experience. Thank you, also, for acknowledging that this may not appeal to all kids (my older son has sensory processing disorder).
jessamyn
July 26, 2012 at 2:35 amThat looks like some really fun finger paint! We tried making our own, it was not so smooth and colorful. It would be fun to have that vibrant set!

kathy g in nc
July 26, 2012 at 12:05 pmThis is totally amazing (*.*) We normally add things to our paints-much to our dismay at times
other times glee. We would LOVE LOVE to have our fingers,hands maybe toes? on this
Emily Fadgen
July 26, 2012 at 12:35 pmOhhh, I am just as jazzed about the finerpaint tray as I am about the sensory fingerpaints! I like it offers a “framework for freedom”.
Aerial

Jennifer
July 26, 2012 at 4:31 pmThe colors look so vibrant – we’ve been using homemade recipes, but it would be fun to have some ready-to-go-paint, particularly with a different feel.
I remember that kind of tray from when I did fingerpainting at summer school as a 3 year old – thanks for the lead!
Jenny
July 26, 2012 at 7:22 pmwe have been into painting a lot this week…they would love taking it up a notch with texture!
Anna Podris
July 26, 2012 at 8:44 pmIt’s a crime our 3yo daughter hasn’t used these, we’re both professional artists! She’d love this..
FSPDT
July 26, 2012 at 9:02 pmoh, wow it is so cool to see they make this. Its crazy bc I had no idea this was a product out there. The crazy part is that my son 3 yr told me the other day when we had our finger paints outside that he wanted to paint sand,lol. So he didnt want to put the sand in the paint so we played a little different but he got to paint his sand:-) I have used disc school supp. before to order supplies will have to go back and check them out. thanks so much for sharing- Jaime @FSPDT
Donna
July 26, 2012 at 9:49 pmLove, love, love it. Can’t wait to try it. Also gives me knew ideas for other additives to finger paint! What else can we put in there?
Diane

Milo D
July 26, 2012 at 10:49 pmThis would give such a change up to the children than the normal finger paints. I think that this would be a very fun tactile experience.

Carrie Landis
July 26, 2012 at 11:18 pmthe sensory sand paint sounds so great! I’d love to try it myself!
Lucy
July 26, 2012 at 11:58 pmI love the idea of having a little sand mixed in!
Anelizabeth Marlowe
July 27, 2012 at 9:49 amWe love finger painting! We use some very inexpensive trays I found for $1.50 each at the dollar store. The children can select and squeeze their own colors, mix however they want – add other textures if desired (playground sand from Discount School Supply is awesome)and make prints. They even share well…..
Wyly
July 27, 2012 at 9:55 amThank you for telling us about this paint! I am very interested in new sensory experiences, especially with color. I can’t wait to try this paint with my preschoolers!
Ailsa
July 27, 2012 at 10:17 amWow that looks gorgeous! I haven’t seen that over here in the UK, but I’m off to mix up some of our own. we will definately be looking out for a big tray like that! Thanks! :)
Catherine Chapman
July 27, 2012 at 10:26 amThat looks awesome! I was just telling a local toy store about this type of paint because they want to expand their special needs section. =)
amy
July 27, 2012 at 12:29 pmThis looks like so much fun! I like the tray too as it would keep some of those extra puddles contained. I want to try it myself after seeing the photos! Well I would let my daughters use it mostly. ;)
[email protected]
July 27, 2012 at 1:38 pmMy daughter who is turning 2 years old on Monday would love these! She loves to color & paint. These would of been perfect when I was teaching preschool, I always had aleast one painting activity a week and I only used Discount School Supply paint because they have the best paint. I would love to paint along with my daughter with these :)
Kathleen
July 27, 2012 at 2:01 pmWhat a good idea — I haven’t pulled out the finger paints in ages. Thanks for the reminder and the chance to win!
Vivien Lee
July 27, 2012 at 4:37 pmI love all you art ideas!!! We do finger paintings in our center everyday. I used to do a lot with infant/toddler and I think I should start doing more messy art with older ones, too!

Jodie
July 28, 2012 at 11:33 amI love all stuff discount school supply! I have two of those trays in my classroom and they are awesome for all things art. I have also had the same experience with them replacing things messed up from shipping. I ordered an easel for my classroom and it came with a big chunk missing from the dry erase side. I called and they sent me an entirely new easel! I used their finger paint to make sensory paint with salt and this would be awesome…I wish I had known about this when I put my order in for this school year :)
Nicholee
July 28, 2012 at 11:33 amThat looks like fun! I love the idea of the finger-painting tray.
Jeanette
July 28, 2012 at 11:34 amI would love for my boys to have a set of paints like these. This would be perfect for them to experiment with different textures! My middle child loves art and would have such a fun time with these. I am just thinking of all the things we could do with these paints. Personally, I have a passion for educational activities, products and art (I went to art school and film school) and I’m always looking for new activities and products to try with my boys. Thanks for sharing and for the give away. I’ll be sure to share your page with my friends!

Whitney
July 28, 2012 at 11:49 amThat tray is such a smart idea! The sand paint is very clever. I’m sure the kids would get a kick out of that.
Brandy H
July 28, 2012 at 11:50 amWhat a great idea to put the sand into the paint – I know my four children have each had little phases of sensory likes & dislikes. I would think this would feel amazing – exfoliating!! And the tray… brilliant!! When my 4 sit down to paint, I quickly run out of places to hang and place pictures to dry. I have lengths twine pinned all around the room to clip pictures up on but eventually have to kill the painting time when there walls, counters and tables are all covered with drying art work!! And honestly, they don’t care too much about all the pictures once they dry – we select a few to keep and a few to share with family & friends. The rest goes into recycling :( The tray would give them more time to just enjoy the experience!!

July 28, 2012 at 12:36 pmDSS does it again – a simple addition to paint, adding texture via sand, provides such sensory stimulation for the little ones! If I don’t win the giveaway, I’m definitely putting some on my order form for the school year!

July 28, 2012 at 12:43 pmThe tray looks like great fun. I’ll have to keep an eye out for big trays… Although I cover my dining room table with vinyl and if I’m feeling brave that might work, too :)

July 28, 2012 at 1:55 pmThis is an awesome idea, I may have to get some just to see what happens with class when working with textured paint. There is so much you can do with this… using plungers and such and we see how much textures can be made with different uses.

Ginadesy
July 28, 2012 at 5:22 pmI have a home day care and I love these supplies. Discount school supply is not only great for the price but they have the best quality over anyone else. Even crayola and the big brands. My home day care is 100% discount school supply and I would not have it any other way. These fingerpaints were not in the catalog but I would love to try them. My kids and the kids who attend day care in my home would love it. We love playing new sensory activities. Thank you artful parent and Discount School Supply you both make my life much easier!!! (and more efficient with money)
