This fun project was easy and pretty quick to do on a sickie/cold days. All you need is paint, paper/canvas and scotch/painters tape.
Tape the child's first initial (or their name) onto the canvas/paper. Then have them fingerpaint over it. Start with one or two colours and then allow to dry before adding more so you don't get a huge mud coloured mess. Once dried, remove the tape. If your paint bled though the tape a little you can touch it up with white paint if you want or outline your letter(s) with glitter glue for a little sparkle! Super fun, Super easy!
**Tips: I cut my letters out of tape - it took a bit longer to do, but I wanted something a little fancier than the straight lines of using masking tape alone. I also used acrylic paint (and especially watched the 1 year old with it) because it goes on nicer and thicker than finger paint, IMO.
