Kids Wall Art

Hi there,
So for those of you who have visited my facebook fan page you would have seen my announcement about expanding the blog. Most of the requests I got were to add a kids activity section. So as my first post on an activity to do with your kids (or by yourself if you prefer) I thought I would share a project I did with my son that he absolutely loved doing and they turned out so nice I actually want them displayed in my house front and center. This project was so fast and easy we did 3 canvases in an hour and my son loved every minute of it.

To do this project you will need

• canvas
• paint (3 colors)
• primer (optional)
• painters tape
• a circular sponge dabber or brush
• table covering

All you need to do for this project is to tape off the areas you don't want paint on. If you prefer to prime first by all means do so now. Priming will reduce bleeding through of the other paint and give you cleaner lines.You will see we did a letter 'C' for my sons name and we did stripes, as well as a chevron which is not shown.

The next thing you do is cover your table we used a garbage bag and taped it down with painters tape. Than you need to put out your paint.

Dip your brush or dobber in the paint and dot all three colors all over the canvases. there does not need to be a pattern in fact in my opinion the more random the better.

Let your master piece dry and remove the painters tape from the canvases and enjoy your paintings.
